My Little Boy Betrayed

Your child,your little boy,
came into this world with you by his side. 
Why now should this be different ? 
Your priorities have changed and he misses his daddy. 

Your new life and family seem much more in important,
but our son understands you are not their.
It is unfair to him,
to not have his daddy. 

Did you know?
He sits by the window waiting for you.
Do you see?
The tears he crys when you do not show. 

You promised to me, you would stand by him,
where are you now?
When he gets older he will understand,
that his daddy has gone now. 
And left him behind.

My heart goes out to you and your little boy, Amy. How do you console a child who feels abandoned by his own father? Moreover, how can a father abandon his own son? He is lucky to have you by his side for support during this difficult time. God bless you both. Love, Carolyn
