Dont Spite the Child To Hurt His Dad
~Don’t spite the child to hurt his dad
This practice is both harmful and sad
~And you wonder why he’s always mad
~He loves him as much as you
Was by your side while in your womb he grew
~Raising a child takes more than one – it takes two
~You left them alone when you were in school
You trusted he knew what to do
~Now you’re not with him you change all the rules
~Why rip out his heart to soothe your pain
Why play these childish games
~In him rage and fury is what remains
~Take note; this battle you may have won
If the tables turn you better run
~This damage just can't be undone
~Please think about the long run
Put your anger aside and think of your son
~His father loves him more than anyone…
