I Miss Mama |

A little tear runs down a chubby cheek He hasn’t heard her voice in close to a week A frown and sniffle, that sadness in his eyes It hurts him so deep, don’t she realize? We had our problems that much is true We grew apart, what was a man to do? But why did she leave this little man? It’s so much more than I can stand As I hold him and look in his eyes I can almost see what he’s thinking Why don’t Mama love me no more? Why isn’t she ever here with me? Does she have another little man? I still care for her, can’t she see? Daddy, I miss my Mama so bad When’s she going to be with me? What’d I do to make her go away? It’s always just her, no more “we” Daddy, I still miss my Mama Now me, I’m doing the best I can To show him how to be a man Sometimes he needs a softer touch For her that must not mean too much Same excuses, same old lies One day he’s going to recognize Mama wasn’t working all the time Then her “freedom” won’t be worth a dime When she hears… Why don’t Mama love me no more? Why isn’t she ever here with me? Does she have another little man? I still care for her, can’t she see? Daddy, I miss my Mama so bad When’s she going to be with me? What’d I do to make her go away? It’s always her, no more “we” Daddy, I still miss my Mama Nothing ever happens unless first a Dream - Rod |

This poem was very touching and so sad. It is so hard on children, I wish they didn't have to go through such emotional stress. Thankyou for sharing. caterina |

How horrible for your son--and for you to watch him suffer with these feelings of abandonment. I don't know the whole story, but I do know one thing, I'm putting your son in my prayers tonight! ~ Sending hugs and prayers ~ Earth Angel |

So sad, this made me cry. You have touched my heart deeply with this poem. I could not even begin to imagine leaving my child behind and just forgetting that I ever had a child. You and your little man are in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless you both. Cherished Angel |
