Giving their physical needs is important but child needs much more than that as this poem goes on to say;

My life changed a lot
when I turned late twenty.
Gifted with a baby
so cute and so lovely.
When I looked at her face,
she looked the same as me
A mother I became
I was happy to be.

I bought her a crib,
toys and games to play,
As I do my home chores
oh! what a busy day!
When she cried in her room,
all she needed was me,
But I said,
"my baby I'm sorry I can't stay"

All the time she would say,
"mom can you please play with me?"
I just said "not this time,
just keep watching TV"
I knew she will be fine,
I knew she'll be okay.
Everything she needed
I gave her anyway.

The years had gone fast,
a little child she was.
I remember those times,
she always need my hugs.
But I said,
"my baby, I have no time for that
I must go to work
and buy you what you want.."

Everyday when I left,
I knew she's feeling sad.
In baby sitters hand,
she was crying out loud.
But I said:
"tonight, I'll bring you a surprise
A pretty barbie doll,
that I know you will love."

She replied "yes mommy, I' ll be happy for that
but much more that I like,
is to sit on you lap.
To watch me when I play,
to hug me in your arms.
To tell if I'm good,
when I sing and I dance."

Now school days are here,
my little girl must go.
With her teacher and friends,
she'll enjoy it I know.,
Just left her alone
the way she was trained to.
I know she's just like me,
she knows just what to do.

One day I saw her smile,
as she's looking at me.
Trying hard to speak,
she has something to say.
I was happy to hear,
she's feeling good today.
And she uttered some words,
she will be just like me.

"Yes my girl I agree,
like your mom you will be
Like mother like daughter
you will be just like me"
Now she's a teenager,
She really looks like me.
But though she is at home,
she seem so far away.

When I asked her one day,
"come here and sit with me,"
She waved her hand and said,
"mom I am busy today."
I must catch up my friends,
we are going faraway.
I will pack up my things,
for long long journey.

My heart was pinched,
why she's acting strange.
She just left me alone,
as I sat on the bench.
I was wondering why
she was always with friends?
She has no time for me
all her days were arranged.

Now she just turned eighteen,
she moved away from me
Her absence's telling me,
I missed her so lately.
So I picked up the phone,
to know if how is she?
She said mom,
"don't worry I'll always be okay."

I said, "Oh! my daughter
I miss you don't you know?"
she replied and said,
I'm sorry I must go,
I cannot make it now,
I have something to do,
I will see when I'm back,
if I have time for you."

And now I realize,
those words are just for me.
Those times she used to say,
shell grow up just like me.
She fulfilled that promise,
in an unexpected way,
Now I cannot blame her,
if she's doing it to me

I spoiled my daughter,
she lived in luxury.
Gave her all what she wanted,
I satisfied her day.
But I did miss one thing,
a child's necessity,
My love and attention,
my care and empathy.

Now that she's grown up,
it bounces back to me.
Too late to realize,
she's far away from me.
she was so right to say,
those words she always said,
When she'll grow up someday...
"SHE WILL BE JUST LIKE ME"
