From A Childs Eyes

We was three little children left alone you
see
That came from a marriage that was not
meant to be

My daddy's parents would have to raise us they was
told
It didn't really matter that they was starting to
get old

I guess my mother thought since she was going
to be free
She just did not know how to make room in her new
life
for us three

As we grew up our mother we hardly ever seen
anyway
So we was glad that our daddy was around almost
every day

When our mother left my little sister was just old enough
to start sitting alone on
the floor
I was the big sister I was in the middle my brother was
just turning
four

For our grandparents raising us three childern had
to be rough
There was never much money but living like that made us so
close and to be
tough

Sometimes life may give you a rough road
to ride
But you can over come anything with faith
and pride

Now my grandparents,parents and brother has all
been
called away
We never did learn why with us three childern our mother
choose not
to stay

Parents remember if you are thinking about walking out
the door
One day your little childern will grow up and want to
know why you left
and more
