Your poem is poignant. There is a lot of truth about selfish adults, those who try to spoil with too many gifts but can't give enough love, Court Orders that can be totally absurd...
But then, in many cases divorce is the only solution and sometimes it also means a more peaceful environment and a safer life for some children. There are so many different cases, aren't there?
Thank you Karen for making us think.

This made me cry Karen, because it hit home for me. I took my mother 12½ years to finally get rid of me. What does a parent think a child can do to her or him? It is not right, that children have to be pulled apart inside, while being tugged at from both sides on the outside. This is very emotional, very powerful, so very poignant. May the Lord Jesus bless you, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth, & (((HUGS))), Barbie

Oh Karen,
This one made me so teary eyed...
It sents out such a extream powerful message...
It made me think back
to when i was going
through my divorce from
my youngest sons father.
Billy my son would come
home after a visit with his dad...
I could tell there was something deeply bothering him...
Finally, he would open up to me...and asked,
why does my dad say bad things about you?
I asked my daddy why does he always make me cry?
As he was telling me this...his tears were
just pouring...
Parents better wake up
and realize the negative
inpact this takes on a childs little heart...
I hope that many people
read this...and really
think about what they are doing to their innocent child.
This was heartwretching.
Beautiful and very powerful...
Excellent job.
Hugs,
Trixie

| It's an insight one can relate to if one's been there. If one hasn't it's a point of view that people need to look at and understand - the heart of the little people |
