A Child Given Up

by Jeannie Shinn - Taurus

A Child Given Up

How can you blame it just on him
You were there when the lights were dim
He always really loved you 
And thought you loved him too

Sure what happened was a mistake
But not just one that he would make
This life that was planted deep inside
You tried your best to hide

You may not have wanted it
But he wasn't ready to quit
You chose to go and take care of this
It was you who ruined his last wish

How can you ever be forgiven
When his child could be livin
Instead of leaving him alone and sad
You could've made him the perfect dad

Now there are only memories to hold
And lots of feelings left untold
Giving up this child was unfair
But that never stopped us from its care.

    This is dedicated to my brother who went through a very rough time and I believe is still hurting.
