The day can start normally enough Going to work with my coffee cup I can be standing at my desk A conversation can start somewhere Or a commercial comes on the radio And I start to think of my Mordecai How much I have lost How much I miss him What I will never have How much I hate his dad For taking him from me Then the tears start My body begins to shake Awful thoughts race through my head I see Mordecai's small face I feel the love and pain I felt I think of revenge, but it's only thoughts I could never do what he has done And be able to sleep at night I wonder when my pain will go away When my heart stops breaking I wonder how strong I really am I wonder how much stronger I will become They say the pain goes away But how long is it going to take? Like a dove, I am now flying free |

Welcome to Passions first of all and what an entrance! I don't know if this poem comes from life experience and even if it does not, it has touched a place so dear to my heart as I too have a son. All I can say is that the "person" in the poem is not alone, and so many are separated from parents, which is a real shame. I think the first thing is to remember when parting, that each is a parent to the same child, and act that way for the rest of thier life. Again, your poem touched a place in my heart so tender.

I know this is a true story because I remember you from before. I don't forget these types of things or people in real distress. Welcome back And the angel said unto me, "These are the cries of the carrots, the cries of the carrots!" |

Again, welcome. A mother is always a mother... and it never makes sense when a child is taken from either parent. I know...I've seen both sides... Sometimes, even fathers "give" all...for several years, but the judge rules "this way"... and then there are mothers...who are the BEST mothers...and the judge rules "that way"... I shake my head, and feel your loss. Please, stay awhile, and share with us, your heartfelt poetry. |

 (big hugggsssssss) Oh Heaher, I am so sorry to hear of this personal experience of yours, sweet friend, no parent should ever take a child for him or herself when seperated and I pity him and others who seize the ownership of a child! (sad sigh) I don't care what he says, Mordecai is your son also, and just as much a son to you as to him, I pray that soon you can get to see him like before, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Heather, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth |
