Why Did You Hate Me Mother

Why Did You Hate Me Mother
A. W. Nutter

As darkness approached so did my fear
Knowing your presence was drawing near
Love from you is something I did not expect
Pain in my life I was forced to accept

Why did you hate me Mother
Why was I given to another

I did as you instructed I told the proper lies
The nightly beatings, were easily disguised
Why did you allow them to take me away
By your side is where I wanted to stay

Why did you hate me Mother
Why was I given to another

Gradually being taught I was not to be blamed
It was you that should have felt ashamed
For the first time in my life I discovered love
From an angel of a woman sent from God above

I want to thank you Mother
For allowing me to remain with another

Standing beside your grave with my hands interlaced
I wonder why I long too see your face
An only son you tormented and despised
Yet I stood beside your grave and cried
