Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Turned Out

I'm a show biz Mama named Rose.

I raised my two daughters to star

In the grand dreams for them I chose.

But such ingrates both daughters are,

Not understanding what I yearn,

To climb the ladder Broadway bound.

I taught them how to grab their turn,

As I was stuck in the background.

But my girls turned their turns to waste.

Now it's my turn to sing the blues.

My girls scorned at the dreams I chased

For them - wrong choices I did choose.

Oh such great stardom there could be,

And turns out it shoulda been me!
