Those innocent Babes

They waited there in silence,
Afraid to make a sound,
But soon their fear was over,
By an Angel they were found.

Soon taken to the safty,
A home that lay close by,
Still lost in the dark night,
All those babes could do was cry.

Not knowing what would happen,
Where did their mommy go,
As she walked off and left them,
 She walked in through that door.

She didn't think of those babes,
Alone there on the dark street,
No place to rest their weary heads,
Don't know when they last eat.

Their Mommy, she deserted them,
For her share of the fun,
Just drinkin and running wild,
Until her night was done.

When she awoke next morning,
And could bearly hold her head,
She thought, thank God they're gone,
With no thought, they could be dead.

But in some strangers arms,
The innocent babes did cry,
Not understanding what is happening,
With tears they questioned why.

Next day in court she entered,
Fought a plea and a request,
She did this for her children,
That she always did her best.

Drugs and booze had taken her,
To the place of no return,
 Now those babes will one day grow up,
From this a lesson learn.
