My Blue Eyed Boy

Heart breaking cannot swallow, 
What have they done they don't understand, 
Cut out my heart with there evil hand, 
Please take your grandson the policeman did say , 
Be down at the station be there at eight, 
In they came with my blue eyed boy, 
All smiling and full of joy, 
With milk in one hand and your bags in the other, 
They rushed off i began to shudder, 
This is when i did discover, 
They had been given a court order, 
Face in my hands i began to weep, 
My blue eyed boy they had taken to keep, 
eight long months past a burr, 
But always in my thoughts there you were,
Love from Nanny

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
