Unconditional

Where were u when I rode my bike without stabilisers?
I'm sure u would have been proud too.

Where were u when my
cockatiel died?
I'm sure u would have been sad too.

Where were you on my first day at secondary school?
I'm sure you would have wished me good luck.

Where were you when I got my first proper job?
I'm sure I would have have been impressed.

But you wasn't there was you,
no proud hug,
no hug of sorrow,
no hug of good luck,
no hug of all the best.

Now, I'm thankful you didn't give me away on my wedding day
Now, I'm thankful you haven't met my son,
And Now I'm thankful I've moved away where you can't find me...

But deep down I'd love a cuddle from you.
