Life quickly changes - The story continues -
When I was alone and you were at homeYour joys and needs were fulfilled
But I was the one who was not your son
A baby unattended filled with fear
A baby girl, helpless and new
In this world there were only few
Who were part of her life day to day
But the question remains why did she stay
Crying, screaming, dirty and cold
Yells from my room left unheard
Granted you, yourself were not very old
But your perversions were all too true
Angry and sad came your wife to the home
To straighten the rights from the wrongs
You had to leave you were not alone
And it was her who calmed all my fears
A bath and a meal and some time for us
Singing outloud "the wheels on the bus"
Time heals all wounds is a modern cliche'
But when she was there she knew what to say
At first we were three and then we were two
Our lives had already been changed
Your absense had no effect on me
6/2/09
Your own daughter younger than three
