Bessie Griffin - Sometimes I Feel Like A Motherless Child

The comments on the different versions of this song are often quite dramatic. I always have a good cry on Mothers' Day. Not because I miss my beloved mother, far from it. Mine was a violent alcoholic who took out all of her frustrations on me. She was nothing to me, and I was only relieved when she died, and that is a tragedy and a loss for a child. I now find my self an old man, but I still feel the absence, the loss, and the fear.
