Won't Be There...

When I'm hurt,
You won't be there.
Nor when I'm scared.

You won't be there
To watch me graduate.

Or see me succeed.

When I'm happy,
You won't be there.
Nor when I'm brave.

You won't be there
To walk me down
The aisle.

Or dance with me
To "Butterfly Kisses".

When I'm stressed,
You won't be there.
Nor when I need you.

You won't be there
To meet
My children to be.

Or watch them grow up.

You won't be there.
For any of it.

So I ask you:
Was it worth it?
