The years have flown so swiftly
I thought my job as a mother was good.
But now I'm so unhappy.
I've been misunderstood.
I have one son whom I cared and oh so loved
Now he thinks I know nothing
About motherhood
You see, he's a father now.
He knows nothing about grandmotherhood.
Trying to makeup the mistakes with him.
My opinions are heard negatively
I feel so depressed and grim.
My grandson is now two and a half.
My son does not understand
When I get that unpleasant feeling inside
When they punish and correct him.
Perhaps in time we will all forget
The unhappiness that is tormenting me now.
To know I'll miss the wonder years
And calming all my grandson's fears.
I feel so sad, my heart is hurt.
It's up to me to straighten this out
By being gentle, understanding, gentle and curt.
Will heal my depressing heart.
I won't give up and neither will he,
A mother's love for her only son
Is one eternally. But he must also understand.
A grandmother's love is unconditional.
