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
I had to dry my tears
And each time I drive
I tell
Mr Impossible
And hope that Hannah hears

Love is like Mumps.....the older you are when you catch it....the worse it feels

Oh, my! Now you've got me crying! Continue to play and important role in your daughter's life and showing her how much you love her, and you will never lose her.

Healing hugs to you all,

Oh goodness, you really touched me with this write. It's hard on a child when the parents break up, but it can be a lot worse when they are no longer "in love" with each other and stay together for the children. Just make sure to stay in your child's life.

Everything is just so much harder around the holidays, isn't it? I know!!

Hugs to you and her

I saw my dad one time, and I can tell you from the voice of experience being present is what she needs. That's something she won't be able to deal with is if she can't spend time with you. YOu can make a million mistakes, but absence is the thing that hurts too much. Sending hugs.

Love,
Terri~

God, where are the tissues! you got
me crying big time, but I assure you
your daughter loves you just the same,
and as she grows older...she will begin
to understand better. hang in there and
enjoy your life with your new love. I hope
all works out for you!
take care
happy holidays,
Amy

if you chase it,
it will surely fly away,instead
hold it close and watch it grow into
something beautiful"

Beautiful write. It touched me deeply as I am planning to leave my husband for the same reason.

I often think about the effects this will have on my children.

You made me see the effects it will have on him as well.

Thank you for a very touching poem.

I remember when my mom left...
just please, stay in her life,
no matter what.

Always, Alyssa

Thank you all for your positive comments.
I can tell you that this poem was written almost 4 years ago, but I have only just plucked up the courage to share it with anyone. I have stayed in regular contact with my daughter who is 12 years old now. Over the summer break she decided to come and live with me. While this is treat for me, I do feel that now I should write and apology to her mother for taking her baby away.
Life isn't easy is it!
