In the beginning, there was a formula,
Mom plus Dad equaled a vivid dream,
A baby was born sparking the vision of family the two sought to redeem,
Through the noises that cried out and the presence of a precious gaze
These parents saw their baby boy so tender, so young
Displaying visions of something that had become one
Dyed the color of brown
This baby’s eyes had
So they knew that he was their child,
A baby boy born with brown eyes
His life would unfold, at the tender age of one,
As a silent storm stopped, a separation begun,
His parents would no longer be one
Yet, the boy still saw them, two worlds apart,
His kaleidoscope of emotions revealed a fragmented heart.
In one world, with his father, he appeared so near,
This was such a different dimension,
And how he cared for the boy was remarkably clear,
Yet the truth was that this was a court-ordered connection, a scheduled tie,
But the boy couldn't tell the difference because of the love he could feel inside
An invisible magnetic force pulling them close,
Father and son, a bond deeply engrossed,
Through the lens of brown eyes, a legacy to bear,
A relational bloodline, he thought his dad would always be there.
But one day, his world shattered in brown hues,
His father disappeared, leaving him
So lost, so confused…
The boy with brown eyes, now on his own,
Now embarking fatherless journey, which is a path unknown.
A memory etched in the color of his gaze,
The pain revealed through a youthful haze,
Why did he leave? He couldn't understand,
Left alone, abandoned, with those little brown eyes.
