~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Disheartening is the situation of our marital separation. It was sad when one of us had moved and became a Visitor in the home our family once so happily shared. Only now, that we're apart, please keep me in your heart. Remembering the love we had will help us deal with the Changes we're all going through. I will continue to hope Everything will some day be alright between me and you.

So sad when couples divorce but sometimes it's the only solution and it's worse when kids are involved. Thankfully many stay on friendly terms for their sake. Good luck Lin. Tom

It really is sad, Tom. I've lived with that sorrow and never wish to go through it again. There's something said to being single.

a realistic portrayal of divorce written in accrostic form. It's hard when one is a visitor in one's home and remembering love and life shared. Divorce is just unpleasant, but sometimes necessary. Thanks for your mindful poem, hugs, Sara

Thank YOU, Sara. It's not a union made with the intent of divorce, but your right in that sometimes it's best for everyone.

An awful lot of divorced couples get on so much better following divorce, often becoming good friends. Not the norm, I guess, but I’ve seen happen. A nicely done acrostic, Lin.

That's true and I'm one of those fortunate people who was able to let go of what was once something beautiful. Thank you, Terry.
