Dissolution of a marriage. What it can do to a family unit. |
Eyes that glisten, bright with tears The news has now been broken. Their memories are of golden years But with words they’ve never spoken. The future holds so many fears There are doors they’ll never open All they ever held so dear Will become a cherished token. The life they knew, no longer is For it’s been torn apart. Childhood dreams, a good night kiss, And smiles right from the heart They’re young. They only caught the gist Now it means a brand new start. It’s those special times they’re going to miss And time will not impart Family outings in the spring Are times they’re going to chase. Childish songs they used to sing Diminished without trace. They’re free like birds upon the wing But now they have to face A world without those special things A world they can’t embrace. All those children, black or white Who never knew the source The unmitigated stinging bite Of their mum and dad’s divorce. The fear that it will incite them Has thrown them off course There’ll be no turning back tonight There’ll be no time to pause. They suffer in confusion, Their hearts are snapped in two But this is evolution This is what parents do. There is no resolution And their hearts are black and blue They can’t find a solution To them their lives are through. Divorce. A get rich business For those who know the game With little thought to Christmas They just snuff out the flame. And now life trembles on this It will never be the same But all they do is curse it While the kids feel they’re to blame. It’s not until the child has grown That he might understand Until now he hasn’t known What it was possessed the man Who had little more than thrown in His marriage as a sham And a woman who has shown him The very best laid plan. |
