a modern day dilemma

Take me with you, Mommy.
I need to kiss you good night.
Take me with you, Mommy.
I worry when you're out of sight.

Why are you leaving, Mommy?
You know we need you here.
Why are you leaving, Mommy?
There's nothing left but fear.

Does Daddy know you're going, Mommy?
Please wait.  He'll be home soon.
Does Daddy know you're going, Mommy?
I'm frightened.  You've been crying since last June.

It's best that I leave, Sarah.  You'll see.
Hush your whining, Sarah.  Hush now.
My taxi's here, so let me be.
I'll keep in touch with you--somehow.

With her nose against the window pane,
Sarah waves goodbye.
But Mommy doesn't see.

Why are you going, Mommy?
I thought you loved me.
