To Do the Right Thing Hurts

I know you'll never understand why I had To send you away. It was to protect you at all cost. Every moment you were uppermost In my mind. To get you out of this Dangerous fray That your sister had gotten us in to Some way. I was trying to save my family from a Holocaust. I know you'll never understand why I had To send you away. It was to protect you at all cost. The only thing I could do was pray. I was in a nightmare with my heart Breaking in so many pieces I felt doubled Crossed. Again I had lost By not getting to see you my beloved son Every day. I know you'll never understand why I had To send you away. It was to protect you at all cost.
