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! |
