DIVORCE MEANS: Complete separation,

A man and a woman set free.

It's the most awful word I ever have heard,

since I learned it here's what's happened to me!

That ugly old word has destroyed my life!

It made Dad not Mom's husband and Mom not Dad's wife!

To talk to my Mom I must call on the phone.

I hate what has happened to the place we called home!

Right now there's a hurt I can't even explain.

My heart is just breaking, my tears fall like rain.

I'm trying to smile and hide the hurt in my heart.

I just can't understand why you must live apart?

Though we live in separate places and we may have separate times,

You say that doesn't mean that things can't work out just fine.

I'm only a kid, I'm not grown-up like you.

You say it's for the best, prove to me that it's true!

Perhaps as time passes the sun will return.

Will our lives have sunlight again as I grow and I learn?

Please let me ask questions.

Have patience with me.

I must learn to live with that word: D-I-V-O-R-C-E.

Give me time to grow up. Let my feelings grow strong,

maybe then I'll understand and it won't seem all wrong!

If you see a sad look or a tear in my eye,

Hug me real tight till the hurt passes by.

Although it's so sad I must remember too,

DIVORCE is only between Mom and Dad,

not Mom and Dad and you!

No one has divorced me, I'm as loved as I've always been.

Parents never Divorce their children

Divorce is only between women and men.

Both my parents still love me.

I'm a part of both their hearts.

I know it wasn't my fault, the decision they made to part.

I don't have to choose or love one more than the other.

Although they're Divorced they're still my Father and Mother!

When fathers and mothers D-I-V-O-R-C-E,

It may mean they aren't together, but they both still love me!

There are a few rules for this new role we must play.

Whichever one I may be with these rules YOU must obey!

PLEASE don't make me choose, it just isn't fair.

I only can think of you two as a pair!

If you have bad feelings for one or the other,

PLEASE don't share them with me, or sister, or brother!

Don't make us decide who is right or who's wrong!

If we must live apart you two must get along!

I always will want things like they used to be,

but because you both love me,

I'll learn to live with---

D-I-V-O-R-C-E!

I barely remember when you lived here, then one day you disappeared!

You haven't called or come to see me in it seems a hundred years!

I used to wait for you each day, and it made me feel so sad.

I don't know the reason why you left. Did I do something bad?

I miss the things we used to do when you would play with me.

When I see other kids with their dads I'm full of jealousy!

Mom tries to take your place, but there's nothing she can do,

that will make it feel the same as what I shared with you.

Mom had to go to work when you went away.

So I'm alone a lot, when I come home from school each day.

When Mom gets home she's tired, so she doesn't have much time for me.

Things were so much better when it was just us three.

Mom said you promised you would help us, you just wanted to be free.

You never kept your promise and Mom don't know where you can be.

Mom works hard to pay our bills, but we need some help from you!

I know if you made a promise you meant to keep it too.

I had a birthday yesterday and I waited by the phone.

I just knew that you'd remember, but I guess that I was wrong.

You probably were too busy and it just slipped your mind.

My Daddy couldn't forget my bithday because that would not be kind!

He wouldn't want to hurt my feelings and he wouldn't want me to cry!

But then you missed Christmas too and I had no reason why.

So many special days have passed,

times I wish I could have shared with you.

It's been Mom and me against the world,

because I guess your promise wasn't true.

I wonder where you are?

Mom says you have a brand new family.

I wonder if ever you feel guilty

for what you've done to Mom and me?

I know that I still love you but you have lost my trust!

How could you say you loved me and then do this to us?

If I should ever marry and things not work out you see,

my kids will never feel like I do,

I WON'T DO TO THEM WHAT YOU HAVE DONE TO ME!

MOTHER! "How could you leave me?"

I need you so much!

I need to learn from you.

I need to feel your touch!

When I grow up and have children of my own,

how will I know what to do to make them a good home?

No real Mother leaves her child to let it grow up by itself!

A real Mother cares, loves, and protects,

for that child is a part of herself.

Her child is a part of her heart, it's her blood, her flesh, and bone.

To protect her precious child's life she would give up her own!

There's a part of my heart that you've taken, that's true.

I will never be whole until I hear you say, "I LOVE YOU."

Others try hard to take your place and make up for what you can't be.

They tell me it's not my fault, but it's still so hard for me to see!

How could you leave me here, to grow up all alone?

There will always be half of me missing,

MOTHER,

"WON'T YOU PLEASE COME HOME?"

I'm following in your footsteps,

to learn about life.

You say it's wrong to hit my girlfriend,

and yet you beat up your wife!

You say, "Don't drink and drive,

it might cause someone to die!"

Didn't mom just bail you out of jail,

because you were caught D.U.I.?

You tell me it's wrong to waste my time,

partying with my friends.

But you leave home on Friday night,

and don't come home the whole weekend!

You say I must be honest,

and not take things that are not mine.

But, I saw you take the neighbor's tools

and you thought that was fine!

You really are a piece of work.

I've learned so much from you.

When I point out, you don't do what you say,

your answer is, "Do as I say, not as I do!"

Why should I be any different?

You seem to be having fun.

You've heard that old saying,

"Like Father--Like Son!"

So if I fail at life

I can't be to blame

the example you have set for me

is my claim to fame!

If you think I should be different,

then you best clean up your act!

Because when everything goes wrong

I'll blame you and that's a fact!
