I Dont Want To Fight

I don’t want to fight Please just do what’s right This is not the life we expected But what it is can’t be rejected It’s about more than you and I Each mistake we make results in Her cry This was not Her choice We never heard Her voice This unfortunate situation Has resulted in visitation Her life revolved around both you and me Why is this so difficult for you to see? Hurting me hurts Her too In the end, the only one losing is you She may be too young to understand But, one day She’ll know what it means to be a man She will know what you have done And that daddy’s not always “FUN” She will look back and realize That daddy did tell lies She knows right from wrong You and I both taught her that song She loves you unconditionally So let’s please do things peacefully Think of Her needs before your own Try your best not to moan and groan Let Her happiness be your guide And she will forever be by your side This is our one and only chance to get it right Let Her life be our light My only request; please see the light I promise you; I don’t want to fight! For her sake; let’s just get it right! Lay

Your poem is beautifully done but more than that Walayee, it speaks so much of the love you have for this child, your desire to protect her, and yes one day she will know the truth and there is no taking it back, I pray, HE listens~~
