I look upon today,
With a heaviness in my soul,
As I watch one of my own,
Fall completely apart.
My son has come to a standstill,
As he loses part of his heart,
For separation of his family,
Begins a new phase of his life.
It is so very sad,
To learn of deceit and sin,
From someone you thought,
Love would never end.
The break-up of family,
Is terribly traumatic.
Not only to the person it's dealt to,
But mostly to the children.
This day and age there are so many divorces;
Tis sad but all too true,
That few people hesitate,
To see the errors of their ways.
Too many rush into marriage,
Thinking that it's true blue love.
I've been there myself,
So I know of what I speak.
I do know how my son feels,
For I've been thru it twice.
I empathyze completely,
And I know how he hurts.
He wishes to stay together,
But his mate does not.
So his only option now,
Is to fight for his daughters.
It will be a tough battle,
And it may not come about.
I can only pray,
That God's Will be done.
There is nothing I can do now,
But give my shoulder to cry upon.
Today my son does weep,
For his loss of love.
