The Hearing I

Your mom filed for an emergency hearing
She said in the declaration
That I smoke marijuana
And curse around you
That I am unable to take of you

This is claimed
For a father
Who helped delivered you
Who spent all of your first 2 years
At home with you
Who bathed and oiled you
Everyday
And who spent many nights
Up all night
Soothing you
Through teething
And illness

We were so close
Father and son
A wonderful pair
Inseparable

But that is all over now
She's stole you away from me
Since I cursed her on Monday
And I haven't seen you
For 4 days now
The longest we've been away
From each other

She filed court papers
Asking for full physical and legal custody
And to prevent me from seeing you
Until a court hearing
A month from now
And thereafter
For supervised visitation only
A few hours a week
To be granted to me

This means that
We would no longer
Be going for walks on the beach
Hikes in the mountains
Or watch Diego
At daddy's new home

It looked pretty grim

But the judge was nice today
He asked if I have a medical marijuana card
I do
Then he ordered
No smoking 12 hours
Prior to visitation
Or during visitation
And sent us back to mediation
To try to work out a visitation schedule

Meanwhile
Everything remains the same
I still get to see you
3 days a week
Unsupervised
Yea

Where's the beach?
Let's go my love
Let's go say hi to mother
No, not that one
The universal mother
Your real mother
The sea
