Divorce Poem

Poem For The Children I'm Not Allowed To See

I wrote this poem to my daughters. I lost a very bitter custody battle, and the father of my daughters was able to convince them to not allow me visitation with them. And so for many years, he played a kind of yoyo game with me by going back and forth from denying me to allowing me to see them for a little while only to abruptly stop again.

More Than Life

Published by Family Friend Poems January 2022 with permission of the Author.

To my so sweet babies,
Who suffer through this most,
I am so very sorry
You must read this in a post.

If only I could hold you
When your time of need is great.
I hope one day you'll know,
And for me you won't feel hate.

I wish that I could take away
All the tears you've cried for me.
I would give up the world
To keep you from pain, you see.

I want to chase away
All your bad dreams at night,
And be there to guide you
When you don't feel quite right.

To share in all your happiness
Is still a dream for me.
I hope you know I love you
More than life, you see.
