[bodytext] => The war has been fought and ended The outcome not what one expected The love on which I depended I learned had long ago defected What I had thought was love of her son Was only a flight of fantasy in my mind When the train of truth hit me head on I realized that she had left us both behind How do you walk away from a child you bore How do you close your heart and soul to his joy How do you tell him you want him no more Too bad for you, I'm proud of and love this boy You will no longer tear him or me apart You will no longer bring us pain and strife I will give him love with each beat of my heart Your loss is my gain, my joy, my life So go on your way, don't look back Enjoy your sad little life, alone with your dark hate Maybe someday your life will take the right track But by then I'm sure it'll be far too late Peace surrounds us, truth has set us free The future awaits us, the way yet untold I know he will grow up to be all he can be God's blessings await him, as yet to unfold I do thank you for this child you gave to me I get to know the growth, pride, love and joy I awake each day blessed and privileged to see All that he is and will be - my grandson, my boy.
