WHAT I KNOW ABOUT RAISING MY KIDS

 

The Most Selfish Act One Could Perform

Two people have sex and a woman gets pregnant.
It happens too frequent I’d say.
So often an accident!  Sometimes it’s planned on!
A baby is born either way!

A most special child!  A gift from the Father!
A person you will find, like no other!
God has a design, this child will have,
a father and likewise a mother.

A child needs both.  Not one or the other.
They need the firm heart of the man.
The mother is there, in a much softer way.
I think that is part of God’s plan.

Two parents to nurture.  To love and to cherish.
To share the tough load they been gave.
A child needs both, to get thru this life.
Yet here’s how some parents behave.

There’s a big falling out.  Things didn’t quite work.
One’s mad what the other had did.
And so they avenge.  They start playing games.
The pawn that they use is the kid.

Get me mad, you fool.  Well, hey, then take this.
I think I will make this real fun.
I’m taking your daughter!  How do you like that?
By the way, say good-bye to your son!

It happens too often.  These parents play games.
They bash their ex-husband or wife.
The child is hurting by hearing these things.
It will hurt them throughout their whole life.

What a selfish, sad game, these deranged people play.
what’s the intent of their game?
Are they screwed up that bad?  Do they have so much guilt,
that their ex must take all of their blame?

And how ‘bout the child.  The one that’s important.
If the facts were to, boldly be faced.
Their wants are their natural, God given parents.
Not to see one removed or replaced.

This game is a bad one!  If it’s one you are playing,
I suggest that you quit with your hate.
The child will suffer.  It don’t have to be so.
Fix this problem before it’s too late.

If there’s love in this picture, where harm’s not an issue,
don’t keep your young child from knowing,
the parent who’s out there, who’s dying to see them.
Their torture just growing and growing.

This game is too ruthless.  It’s so disrespectful!
Shame on you if you’re truly that cold.
Imagine someone taking your kid.
Them not being there to see or to hold.

How would you like that?  Think on that hard!
Imagine how tough that would be.
Now think of yourself, what you’re doing to that other.
How ruthless it proves you could be.

The child also suffers.  Believe me they do.
You think what you’re doing is right.
It’s the wrongest of wrongs.  It is evil and cruel!
It’s a cowardly way to a fight.

Stop being so selfish.  Do what is right.
Let your child know their mom or their dad.
For their only is one, regardless which one,
that this child wants to know that they had.

Bury the hatchet.  Stop screwing around,
with your childish, sickening, cruel game.
Give the parent the rights, that they earned on that day,
that they gave that young child their name.
