How could you?

How could you?
How could you just give away?
Your precious beautiful child? 
How could you just desert him now?
How could you do this to your own? 
What is the matter with you? 
Have you no heart? 
Just because your man is gone: 
Did you love him so little 
That you can just cast your boy aside! 
Where is your heart? Where is your soul? 
Oh Lord I cannot understand: 
I cannot begin to even understand!
How any mother could be so heartless?
So underhand! 
To surrender up her baby boy?
To surrender up a life of joy? 
My heart breaks for such a tragic choice!
For that little boy: who has no voice!
