The bridge in the middle…. I’m the bridge in the middle of a love/hate affair Between two people who don’t really give a care About one another, sometimes wishing each was dead So to talk to one another, they go through me instead Years of anger kept quiet now come forth with such fright If they could touch one another, they would surely fight One moved out of state, took the kids and she was gone Left a heart broken daddy to make it on his own In steps the girlfriend who hates to see the pain Increase for us all, it leaves nothing much to gain So much suffering makes us all just want to stop We’re not the real ones who are suffering a lot There are two little children, brown eyes just like their dad They are the ones who are hurting, whole mess is really sad Visitation isn’t happening cause no one wants to deal No one really cares just how the others might feel I hear both sides, I’ve been there once or twice Who is going to be the first to break the ice? I can’t fix the problem, I can only stand between I’m not here to argue, I’m only here to be seen Tired of the absence of those babies that I love I pick up the phone and pray to God up above “Give me strength to do this, don’t let her cuss me out I’m not really sure what the problems all about” Talk to the ex, cry some tears, make a plea He misses his children that he cannot see God must have heard that silent pray I cried For once the ex was actually on OUR side! After years of hating/crying/cussing in her vain Hung up the phone and didn’t feel any pain Daddy’s going to see his babies if she keeps her word I can’t be mistaken, I know what I heard! I’m the bridge in the middle of love/hate affair With two special little babies that we all share Thank you, God, for the courage I needed to call And soon we’ll be a family like we should after all! |

Thank you guys! This one was written with real tears. Been three months since we've seen our babies & I hated to go behind his back & call, BUT, maybe time does heal some wounds. Or maybe, just maybe, God really does hear prayers. |

I know God heard your prayers! And, besides that, if your prayers are anything like your poems, they ought to be psalms! |

Oh Deb, you are sure in a hard place. I'm sorry for the pain to all involved. It's so hard to be the one in the middle. Your poem was lovely and quite sad. I hope it all works out. -SEA |

Tough position to be in, Deb. I'd say you handled it very well. They're lucky you are there. |

I went to see who was talking to me I found you finally Your poem so sad but written nice Life certainly can throw some dies I hope it all will be ok and sorry I missed this poem....but not today The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools. |
