Never comprehended your head in the sand
Don't know why I want to believe anymore
My eyes have awaken my heart for the end

You talk but the words are twisted around
You hear with blinders blocking each side
You smile but evil intent screams its sound
Now truth and your world finally collide

It's said for each lie there's absolute truth
It's written that love cancels out each hate
From our birth to the end of our youth
Others often control the path of our fate

But when adulthood's doorstep is crossed
That's when we all must own our choices
Some like watching as their fate is tossed
Others chose to march to the inner voices

You, I've never or will ever, understand
You were given more than most could dream
You picked the path of a selfish cowardly man
Your life, your needs, your only life scheme

Your path and mine aren't compatible, no sir
I cannot abide the pain or hurt any further
So with heavy, yet lighten heart, I will defer

Yes it's sad when family are forced to have a need just to brake away and run like hell. It's always the pure at heart that get hurt by those whom are out there for only what they can gain. Yet those of us mare mortals that pluck up the courage to stand up and say enough is enough. To them I say well done, you take yourself seriously and therefore others should do the same. Sad story though.

The poem it self very very good write. It flows like water. Rhymes well and makes no bones about what's on your heart.

Greetings

I have read your poems on this topic before and I respect that you have taken responsibility where your daughter failed.

The difficult thing for me to think about is the affect of her abandonment on him. :( So very sad.

But your poetry is always right on the money and here is no exception.

Best wishes,

Tim

Nicely written. Plain in meaning but pretty on prose. Thank you for sharing.

The poem is perfectly crafted.
It also lets us all feel each emotion and your heart.
It is so sad, blessings to you and the grandson.

Hugs
