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 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 ![]() Ethel |

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~ ![]() Well I will go down with this ship |

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. ![]() |

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