I am a child of divorce,
there are many of us.
Who were damaged inside,
without a say or a choice.
To shed your old life,
like a snake sheds it´s skin,
just walk away.
It seems so easy for all you men.
When you went out that back door.
You went out a single man,
no responsibilities any more.
You moved in with your mother,
for you the last 10 years never happened.
On the other side,
it broke my mothers heart
no place to go,
hungry kids, no money, no job.
We ended up in a house,
no plumbing, and a coal stove
setting in the middle of the living room floor.
Before we were normal,
now we were poor.
But we had each other,
we never ask for more.
Bless my poor mother,
she barely kept us fed
but we never went hungry,
would anyone have cared?
How this woman did it I´ll never know.
We always had Christmas,
and clothes on our backs
I never remember her crying over her hard life.
She just did the best that she could and never looked back.
Thank God that our mother didn't´t run away
She could have you know,
just got up and left.
I gotta tell ya,
she did a hell of a job,
for the three of us turned out to be excellent people.
Except for me, I got damaged inside,
I was always daddy's girl,
so I got some rage left inside.
So dads before you walk out that door,
you better think hard.
Cause if you´re leaving kids behind,
By your actions right now,
You may be ruining lives.
Don´t go through life living on lies
I´m here to tell you,
divorce your wife, you divorce your kids.
DID YOU LEAVE A DADDY´S GIRL BEHIND?
KAREN J LOWE
A CHILD OF DIVORCE
2007
A couple of years ago,I became very ill, and was
thought to be dieing. My dad was the first thing
I saw when I opened my eyes after a three week coma.
He had a huge smile on his face, happy I had woke up.
There has not been many weeks he has missed coming
to see me, and against major obstacles.
That has always been our problem, the obstacles, but he
has pushed on through, and he is with his Daddy's girl.
Daddy thank you for being with me these past two years.
It has brought sunlight back in to my life.
