Devorce is easy to get,,,TOO EASY
It just takes one dissatisfied partner
To hire a devorce lawyer,
To draw up a legal paper.

The lawyer does'nt care abut the reason
As long as someone has his/her fee.
To pay the asking price.
Yes, devorce is easy to get,..but it's not free.

In most devorcement situations,
Someone's heart is made sad
Not always between the two adults,
But when children are involved, devorce is bad.

Oh listen to me, my family and friends,
Think about others, whose lives your devorce will touch,
Your parents, siblings, friends and especially your children,
All those, who in you, have placed their trust.

And remember when you
Stood before the Preacher
And said your vows
"For richer or poorer

I take you, my love,
I love you with all my heart,
Forsaking all others, I take you
Till death [not devorce] do us part."

And before your fanily, friends and God,
To one anther you promiced your life.
And your Pastor congratulated you,
And pronounced you "Husband and Wife"

But, now you stand before a judge,
No longer holding hands,
And the Justice of Peace,
With just one word, breaks the marriage band.

But, hold on just one minute,
Your marriage may have been desolved,
But you still have a BIG problem,
Don't forget, into his world,
     you brought some children

They are too young to understand
Why Mommy and Daddy are walking away,
With Mommy holdng one of their hands,
And Daddy the other; they just don't understand.

Why are Mommy and Daddy
Not speaking to each other?
Why is Mommy taking me?
And Daddy carrying my brother?

Now tears of frusration and fear
Runs down their little faces.
Why are Mommy and Daddy
Taking us to different places?

Aw yes, my friends,
Devorce is easy to get...TOO EASY TO GET
BUT, the children's sadness that follows
IS NOT EASY TO FORGET.
