Mr Impossible
A small, soft toy
That Hannah handed me
As I left her at the door and said goodbye
She was smiling as she let it go
But I could see the tears
Behind those sadly smiling blue-green eyes

What could I say?
I had to go
There was no way to stay
The love I thought I had
No longer felt
Now I had found another
So I had leave her Mother
But when I saw those eyes
I thought I’d melt

I felt so wicked
Selfish
For I broke my baby’s heart!
I left  her standing
Watching her own Dad
Turn away and walk along that long and lonely path
How could she think of me as anything but bad?


But turn I did
And as I drove
To meet the one for whom I swore I’d die
My eyes were streaming
Salty tears
For miles I’d drive
And cry
And cry
And cry

But Hannah gave him to me
So I have to keep him there
To remind me that she loves me after all
I promised her upon my life
That I would always care
And each time I drive
I tell
Mr Impossible

Man that stuff is so hard on the head. I know how you feel and how you know you can't stay but you hate to leave. When little ones are involved, born from your blood, it is the hardest thing of all. You have put that across very well here.

Thank you ethome.
I guess I just had this inside of me, and needed to let it out.
Still hurts though.

Love is like the mumps.....the older you are, the harder it hits you!
