The other son

[creativesoul]

When divorse is imminent
The children are often confused
Maybe if they had been more loving
Maybe then
They would have a family

The texts came
One of the twins
Wanted to meet her
At the shopping center
She couldn't sleep all night

[saw]

when I told my kids their mother and I were going to divorce, the oldest one said, " Well you know dad, I saw this coming"....it kind of floored me at that moment, but soon afterward I realized, of course.....of course they see it coming

I was so " not done" with that poem
Seeing the beauty in that lil face
But when the adults surrounding them
Are corrupt
The kids are affected- even the speech-
It is all nature or nurture - I'm going with nurture

With children it is sometimes a relief, fighting unhappy parents are so unhealthy to learn how to be , the transition is the most tender ,vulnerable time , it is a disaster if they are fought over, We thought about it once long time ago and did not , now I am thankful, we are who we are the scars are ours and they are deep, but the boys are close and the family strong, I will never council any one , but I had a long deep talk with the universe and did what I was answered to do. The poem brought it all back.

I know sometimes it would seem that I am a child

Always happy for touch or comfort

The universe has never let me down

Certainly it does not matter to some

If the child could not spell

While we jumped through hoops

Lost our minds

Yet each time I have loved

Whether as an adult

Or as a child
The heart understands the smile
