FOR THE SAKE OF THE CHILD
A mother you are not, for you bring a life into the world on false terms.
You tricked the father into believing you were true, but now he finally learns.
Children are not meant to come into this world for use of games and trickery
They are beautiful, innocent creatures simply asking for the best a parent can be.
You cannot deceive this world for everyone you know is aware of the truth.
These games of withholding a child from the other parent robs them of their youth.
Do you not see what you are doing, are you really in that much denial?
You do not provide the best environment, and the child suffers all the while.
I pray one day you come to realization to see the damage that's being done.
Maybe when this child is old enough to understand, he will decide to run.
Why wait for that to acknowledge the harm that is now being inflicted?
Some day this little boy will grow up, suffering confusion and will be conflicted.
For the sake of the child, open up your eyes and make yourself aware.
These evil schemes you carry through only show you, as a mother, do not care.

Just Pardee and I were taking a stroll
On a warm summer day on our way to a knoll.
Just singing a song as
Growing Children
Tender seeds
in sowers hand,
cultivates in fertile land.
Yielding fruit
of greatest gain,
when sowers love
