Broken hearts
That shatter beyond repair.

The look in a child's eye
Daddy's gone with despair.

Mommy's tears
Flow fast and free.

So much of Mommy
You should never see.

Pain and anguish
She cannot slow.

But try as she might
The pain does show.

Another bad day.
Another bad fight.

My poor baby
Cries at night.

Hold on little boy
Mommy will be ok.

I will show you
A promise for a better day.

Daddy isn't here.
He loves you though.

One day it'll be better,
When you're older and grow.

Until then
Please hear me.

It'll get better
Just wait and see.
