"Where's Mommy", I heard you say
She's gone Dear it was time she said, "to be on her way"
"What did I do wrong", You questioned me
My eyes filled with tears
My heart broke in two
I couldn't speak up, I just don't know how to answer you
She told me why she gave you to your Dad,
I could never repeat what she said to you
You would never understand...
She said "it was time to fill her own needs"
She said she was too young when she gave you life
Sending you away was desperation to become anyone's Wife
Being a Mother was a bore
For her it had become such a unselfish tedious chore
Family time is now replaced by Bar room chatter
Chasing destructive relationships is all that matters
Her Job won over any time spent with you
Day's off were spent with that someone new
"Don't worry Dear your Daddy still loves you"
"He'll stand firm at your side"
"He'll be home in his bed"
"Not out all night in someone else's instead"
"I promise he won't leave you alone"
"He'll stick around and give you a home"
"I loved her so much", I heard you say
The tears fall again, I don't know what to say
How do I tell you the selfish reasons why she couldn't be a Mom
How he became the center of her love while she moved you down
How can I explain to you how she could leave you alone
With no Adult to protect you at night in your Home
"Didn't anyone tell Mommy Family comes first?"
"It's the responsibility of giving birth"
"Didn't anyone tell Mommy Loving and Touching out weighs even pure Gold"
"New Cars and new clothes alone are cold"
"Didn't anyone tell Mommy she's hurting me?"
"I could grow up spending my whole life making sense of her in Therapy"
I looked at you child, so sad and so wise
I then looked to the Heaven's and asked only "why"
I don't understand a Mother who places her child last
I don't understand Friends who accept this behavior with grace
Protecting the Child they feel is simply not their place
What in life makes them become so hardened, deaf and blind
If I was this Mother or one of her Friends,
I would hide my face in shame.....
Thank God for the loving Father's who stick around
Who give their Children a Home built on firm ground
Unselfish they are to forgo the Bars and Overtime
They stand by the Children when Mom's being unkind
Three cheers to you my heart shouts out in a joyous melody
You understand the precious gift you willingly received
And you cherish each moment of your Child's life
With a passionate unending need
Thank God for the Children one Parent has sense and decency

This is not an attempt to single out only Mommies. But the facts are when children are
treated this way espically by Mom's, it seems to leave a bigger whole in their lives.
*Dedicated to all the Children who are or have lived with Dad because Mom thinks her time
is better spent elsewhere. And to all the Dad's who understand the damage these Mothers do
to their Children Spirit. And Sympathy to both for the frustration caused by Societies
acceptance of this new trend among birth Mothers. May the Children find the much needed
Peace to forgive Mom when she decides she needs them in her life again.
And this is dedicated to my Mom, Sylvia who put her Families needs first the majority of times.
And who stood by her Children without putting anyone else first!
The Midi is Unbreak my Heart
