Broken Home

Wanted child Hence i was born Two loving parents The perfect norm All it takes is just one day The marital ropes will start to fray Parental bliss, family born Will suddenly be not as strong Many events make this so For either parent to come or go The innocents stare In wonderment gaze What makes their parents Go through this phase The make up of people The roads they take Is it all for themselves Or their children's sake In many a city In many a town Parental off roaders Tear family life down Utopia will never be ,the worlds perfect family It takes real love and affection to make them stay 50 - 50 each have their say If it's not to be either will roam Leading to Another Broken Home

Birds sing more sweetly away from mother's nest ... and we grow character to sing after experience ... and I have learned that to love self least is to love others best ... and this alone past all the tests. Full empathy on the subject ... so creative the way you handled it ... a great poem.

So sad so many children have to go through this. Too many run when the going gets tough instread of supporting each other. Interesting perspective on this ever increasing social problem. Keep on writing! Thank you for your kind words on my haiku. Karen

so rightly said. and it's heartbreaking. and the only answers i see are either Jesus or the Taliban. personally, i prefer the former. the worst part is it can happen to you just like it happened to me. john h loving iii

James, this says so much. Children pay the price so often. I love the phrase"parental off roaders".BG
