When I was much too small to meet your eye,
I loved you more than I loved anyone.
I saw you hated me, but never why.
I never understood what I had done.
When I grew tall enough, I ran away.
The world was not as bad as I'd been told
But still you pulled me back under your sway.
It was more dangerous inside the fold.
When you no longer could maintain your hoard,
I soon turned up to help you as required.
I scrubbed 'til sanitation was restored,
While you made fun of me for being tired.
You always said I'd get what I deserve.
This isn't it. I quit. I will not serve.

Thank you, Bruce.
There are probably many who will recognise that ... person. Some of
them will not have gone back to try to help.
Thank you, True Melissa, that is ... vivid.

Thank you. I think hanging out in this group inspired me to write
something again.

No really valid reason but this poem makes me think of John Lennon's song "Mother" when I read it.

I'm not sure I've heard that. I'll find it on YouTube.
