In My Grandson's Eyes
In My Grandson’s Eyes
I see his pain & watch the tears flow down his little face
“Mommy I don’t want to go” he pleads with all his might
“But Daddy’s waiting for you & it will be alright”
Against his will he goes but not without a struggle
A 5 year old shouldn’t have to deal with all this kind of trouble.
His father made him homeless & took everything from his Mom
Yet this poor child is expected to act as if nothing ever went wrong.
His Father lives a life of deceit where he believes his own lies
But the one who suffers can be seen in my grandson’s eyes.
