When Our Happiness Ended

How many people have happy lives
I sit around and wonder,
Watching people with their families 
Thinking back when my children were younger

What happy times we had at the pool
Memories of parks and swings,
By the lake picking out beach glass
Not knowing CPS was waiting in the wings

Getting ready for school in the morning 
In our cozy farmhouse that was blue,
With two cats chasing and catching mice
Years before not knowing what CPS was up to

2015 ended all our happiness 
And the dreams of my dear children,
Falsehoods entwined with so many lies
CPS perjured in Family Court then 

Many four-faced family members 
And those working in the courthouse,
Always creating havoc in the courtroom 
As the Judge just sat there like a souse

Cheering and clapping after he ordered
The Judge did not slam down his gavel,
Friends with attorneys as it turned out
Listening intently to CPS lies unravel 

Years have passed, their emotions destroyed 
Scattered from lies and heartache,
Couldn’t they think of the children first
Instead of themselves just for their sake?
