Poem
Nobody’s child but mine, He wasn’t wanted, Except by me He was born so strong, Should have been two, Oh what a joy This child of mine, Ten tiny fingers , Ten tiny toes too, That child of Mine. He warmed my heart from that moment on, That child of mine . I lost his dad, He didn’t want to know, That child of mine . He was sick , Born that way, That child of mine . Smiles and laughter that lit up a room, That child of mine . Many a worry, That sick child of mine, Yet so eager to please. A loving child.. Full of smiles, Laughter too, He was left with his tiny new brother . That child of mine, New dad and all, He was so pleased . So proud of his new baby brother. That child of mine. I just never knew, Thought he was safe that child of mine . How he snapped , His new dad At that child of mine . My joyful night, Became a mothers worst fear.. That poor child of mine, He couldn’t breathe, New dad didn’t cope. Love was blind, This I knew, Now I’m ashamed, I should have knew. He was only three, Battered and bruised, That poor child of mine . From top to toe, Look what he’d done to that child of mine . I know I should have let go, Be seen and heard for that child of mine.. I was so young with two kids in tow, How would I cope, I did not know. To young and afraid of being alone, I should have known . That child of mine, In sorry now, Was so naïve, It should have been done. I should have let him go, For that child of mine I loved so . Never again will I be afraid, Scared and unsure for any child of mine . Their just no excuse, He was only three, That poor child of mine . I was his mum, Should have known, What had to be done . I should have spoke out, And not been afraid . For that child of mine, I was his mum .
