APART

" This is your grandchild"

I remember you say.

" You're part of his life now

in every way."

So why did you take him

and tear me apart"

You walked from my son

but took also my heart.

I know he is growing,

I' m told that it' s so,

but nothing of me

will he grow up to know.

Whatever has happened

' tween you and my son

was that really reason

to do what was done"

I cannot make contact,

The law makes it so,

but I' m hurting to be there

my grandchild to know.

So please, if you read this,

think not of my son

but of loving grandparents

who' d bring so much fun

To the child you delivered

and then took away.

I pray that we' ll meet soon

and again hear you say -

" you' re part of his life now in every way"
