Whodunit

Once upon a time in the land of Why,
There lived a little girl who was afraid to try.
Her mother said "We're proud."
Her father said, "You're good."
But their words only made her cry.

Each day she pretended that all was well,
And no one ever knew her personal hell.
Her mother never asked,
Her father never wondered,
And she never decided to tell.

Then one day she met a wonderful guy.
It seemed all he knew how to do was to try!
Her mother adored him,
Her father approved him,
Her attraction to his efforts was too strong to deny!

She tried and she tried, but her struggle was great.
She wondered if failure was her only fate.
Her hubby said he loved her.
Her hubby showed his pride.
But her efforts still did not rate.

Then God brought a son into their lives,
And suddenly she saw herself through his eyes!
Would he be proud?
Would he approve?
Of all her alibis, excuses and lies?

Life in Why cannot be as it seems!
It's time to end her silent screams.
So she packed up her baggage,
And moved with their luggage.
To the land of Whodunit and the home of her dreams.

It's a place to live life, since she's only got one;
A place where she's proud to raise a son.
Where Mommy feels proud,
And Daddy feels good,
And a little girl's tries, are now getting done!
