Don'T Forget the Kids

The silence shared is oh so loud It has a resonating force With decibels high, reaching the sky As we stand here in the courts The lawyers speak of new demands With wants and disregards Who will get the car and kids and Who will get the house and yard? With great intention I do now say Speak up above the noise We must put things in perspective And speak then with one voice The children are affected now As love gave into fighting Let’s keep from them, the bickering And the sparks that are so igniting Reinforce the value of family And that love for them’s the same Let them know it’s not because of them That they are not to blame Let them see some smiles as Their world then opens wide Speak to them, don’t lose that touch Let their feelings not then hide Let them know, though separate Our efforts are as one While raising them to love, respect And to never come undone
