Roo Roosch

The tears continue to run...

So I repeat to myself that I'm done.

Though these feelings are strong, I know they are wrong.

I won't walk away from my son!

I’m crushed: my boy walked out of my life

Replacing me with his brand new wife.

I cannot believe he'd just pack up and leave

Will it be like this all of my life?

I love him without hesitation!

We need help with some mediation someone please tell my boy

That my heart's not a toy

Let's fix this unhealthy separation.

You may be a man but you're young... You're still out there trying to have fun.

But soon this new life that you make with a wife

Will change oh so drastically, Son.

Those changes will not be bad

It's just different from the life that you had.

You'd come and go without warning… stay out through the morning...

With no answers to give, good or bad.

Is that how you slipped away? You found you had nothing to say?

Well I still want to share in your life. I still care!

I guess I'll just wait for the day

That you finally have kids of your own

Watch out...someday they'll be grown!

And I pray you teach your kid better than I did that family is all that you own.

You only have one mom and dad

And you're forgetting all that you had.

You traded one for another but you HAVE a mother

And right now, she's feeling quite sad.

I know there's not much I can do but remind you how much I love you.

Until we restart you'll live in my heart

I love and miss my son Roo!

Although my tears continue to run...

And I repeat to myself that I'm done...

It's true...these feelings are strong, still I know they are wrong.

I will NEVER walk away from my son!
