This Only Effects Me And You
By Richard Maxfield
2-28-2000

You said that this only affects me and you.
I am here to tell you it’s just not true.
Your actions involve every one we know.
In a few words THAT  I will try to show.
Our kids they no longer know what to do.
Now that there is no longer me and you.
From the moment they were born it was you and I
To answer their call when they cry.
Now we are no longer a team.
We will not answer their midnight scream.
Children are meant to be raised
By two parents for all their days.
An equal balance of woman and man.
That was the way of God’s master plan.
What of our parents they are so very sad
I love your Mother and your Dad.
I am so afraid I’ve not only lost you.
I have lost the both of them too.
Ever sense I made you my wife 
They have been such a big part of my life.
Our family has become so torn.
This affects children not yet born.
Have you thought our grand babies yet to come?
Never to know us together, where they are from.
We will not be together to see them grow.
Not together our love to show.
Never know of spending the night 
With blood Grand Mom and Dad, it’s not right
All of the Christmases whom will they see?
Will it be you or will it be me?
So when you say this only affects me and you.
I am here to tell you it is not TRUE.
