From My Diary Combination of Happiness and Saddness

The year of my parents dreadful divorce
Lived with Mom and Aunt in another state
Changes came coupled with countless remorse
Feelings you just couldn't anticipate

On farm of two hundred green acres
Included barn, bats and dog named Happy
Bare back horse riding was there for takers
Maple trees juicy, tastefully sappy

That Christmas year was strangely different
Cousins, matriarchs and I rejoicing 
Group of us managed to find reverent
Home made gifts of hide and seek, songs voicing

For me, 'twas a year full of sweet and sour
Testing our resilience and power
