How can a mother just abandon her son?
Just walk away, leaving him with anyone.
To go out and have fun.
Days turn to Nights, nights into days,
Before we knew it,
Two weeks has came and gone away.
With out her seeing him, not one time.
And she walks around head up, perfectly fine.
For him, she don't have the time.
She don't care what she's missing.
Or worries if he has what he needs or not.
All this she's doing needs to stop.
She just put it all on the family to figure it out.
Pretends she's gonna get him,
Then makes excuses why she can not.
So we pass him back and forth.
Trying to take care of him, since she won't.
Taken by the state, we don't want him to go.
I don't believe this is Gods plan or fate.
A mother that don't care about her child.
It's just the way she turned out to be.
He didn't ask for none of this,
And definitely don't deserve
TO BE TREATED THIS WAY.
How can one be so cold?
So careless, unloving and self centered?
How can she go this long without a hug or kiss?
Makes me ball up my fist thinking about this case.
Two weeks, to be exact
Since the last time she saw her child's face.
Now we have to raise him and it's not our place.
No momma, no daddy that cares about him.
I can't imagine how he feels.
She pretends that she cares
And wants him there,
But then she leaves him anywhere.
He is so confused and scared,
Has no clue what is going on.
For him, life is already a disaster and unfair.
I have four children of my own,
But I love him, so I took him in.
And I'll take care of him the best I can.
Lord please keep my nephew in your sight
And protect him through the night.
And Heal his little painful heart.
And I'll do my best to help him with this fight.
Help him settle in,
And feel loved and safe with us.
And know we will never leave him.
Cause now he's apart of us.
Amen,

- Comment from author about the poem: I wrote this piece about my nephew and his mother. She just dropped him off for four days. But now it's been two weeks. She hasn't tried to come get him, every time she is suppose to, she makes excuses why she can't, hasn't texted or called about getting him or to check on him in three days. She just don't care about him. She's to worried about doing what she wants. And though I already have four children myself, me and my fiance is taken him in. To love him, take care of him, out a roof over his head, make sure he has all he needs and to be with someone who will treat him right, like he is suppose to and wants to be treated. Cause he's not getting this from his mother or his father. His father moved out of state. So he isn't here for him either. So him and the responsibilities just got left on the family. But that's ok he's wanted here and loved very much. So ya, we are making room and plans for him to live here with us...

I just cannot understand why a mother abandons, yes that is what it is, her son in this way. I have absolute praise for you in looking after your nephew, I do hope that all will be fine for both him and you.
Reading this was more than sad
Was really close to the one I had
A mum can watch her kids get hit
Choosing him over all three
The tears that just run down my face
Are ones I've dealt with everyday
Although it's been a scary place
To really feel, why was I made
I'll thank the two that got me here
They aren't the ones I hold dear
The lesson that was put on me
Ready to use with my kids
I may now be divorced
Having to split time and space
They know why they were made
Because adventures await every day
To sing, dance, make music and play
Learn together with loves embrace
I've shared my heart so you will know it's love like yours that still holds my hand on those dark memories and feelings.
Thank you for a wonderful write
Plus being who you are
Take care
This is tragic, and unfortunately everywhere. My heart and prayers go out to you and yours.
Bless your heart. You are doing the right thing. The number one job for any parent is to take care of their offspring. It is so unfortunate and maybe a sign of the times that so many people, mostly men, but also some women, lack this basic instinct.
Thank y'all so much. And Poetic Dan, that was so beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing that with me. Very lovely.. And FredPeyer you are very right. Sign of times. I already been thinking this to. Nice to know I'm not the only one
