~ I Know What Love Is ~
I was just told I am getting a divorce.
My kitty Smoky has not left my side.
He's a good boy, friend.
He knows ... .
You know I heard this song some time ago.
I asked this same thing.
It came to me ... .
It touched me ... .
I have no regrets,
because I shared this ... .
My tears today,
snot bubbling,
running out my nose.
I look terrible ... .
I count it all joy.
Hair a mess I stink, cant eat, sleep ... .
Same as when it came to me ... .
Life's a trip ... !
Eleven and one half years together.
Six apart for this divorce, waiting.
Sweet thing she wants to remarry ... .
Yes I thank God,
because we are still friends
two beautiful children not my own,
their healthy, happy.
Grateful I am, will always be.
My wife and children they will always be in my heart of hearts.
Though they are not here with me,
I am blessed to have shared,
still ... share-in it with them ...
because I know now today what love is...
they showed me ... !

Author notes
I will always love my family ... . Because at my worst first they loved me ... .
