A Waiting Game

He breaks your heart
  Tears you down and apart
Lip buttoned, your kid shuts you out
  Where to turn, How to start...

Extra patience is called for
   It's a waiting game
Confrontation only gets you
   More of the same

Words of wisdom and experience in life. I'm living through this right now ... (patently). Not easy to do. Bill

Setting the but satirical tone apart, what I love most on this rhyme is "creatively creative" vibes. Of course stillness is the name of the game.. Thanks for the unique, creative share... Silpika
