Eight Word Challenge-Scrambled Egg Divided

Scrambled Egg Divided My son, like a sun, brought sunshine to my life In view of his mother's immutable reins that rain strife During Jeff's formidable years he saw his parents interlude Tenuous, a hen and a rooster continuously squawking and in feud Seeing his parents always bereft had an effect on his shell And his therapist demurely wrote that our son was living in hell It hurts to see a young and brittle psyche torn apart And I only wished my wife flew the coop and gave us heart Yet she clung on, and the pages of our storybook cried Tears over a child's sketch of a scrambled egg divided 10/22/17 Eight word challenge-5 - Poetry Contest 1.
