Five years later and I still remember
that heartbreaking day just as it were yesterday
That day was July 17th, 2014
keeping them with me seemed so hard
I tried!!
But lies were told and tears fell heavily
as they were both ripped from my own two arms
he is now 14 and she is 11.
I want them to hear the truth
I want them to hold their heads up high
They have sworn that they are happy
But, this just can’t be true!
If I had to choose
between loving them or breathing
I would use my last breath
just to tell them I love them to the moon and back
I will always love them and
I will always be there
to catch them if they happen to fall
One day, I hope they see the truth of it all.
I hope they think of all the
Happy memories and forget all the negative ones
From that fateful day five years ago!
My heart is broken into pieces from this
huge distance between us.
I pray for god to watch over them and
help them continue to stay strong and pray
for the three of us to be together again
just as I do everyday

- Comment from author about the poem: I wrote this poem for my son who is now 14 and my daughter who is now 11.\r\nOn July 4th, 2014 after taking my kids and leaving their father due to the abuse I was going through from him everyday for over 10 years, he found me in another state on July 17th, 2014 and he had court papers stating that he was granted temporary primary custody of both of our children. Every since then I have fought and fought by going to court and proving everything he had done to me with the police reports and yet they still have not granted me custody and the only visitations i have with them is during the summer time for 1 week and I have to drive nearly 900 miles just to see them then. My heart hurts everyday with the pain of not having them with me, but I keep my spirits up and I continue to write poems about them and all of the good memories we still have inside of us..
