Regrets
How can such joy we shared turn to sorrow?
How can the promise of our vows be stilled?
One day happy, then divorced tomorrow.
As I look back on years we spent as one
I recall how you always made me laugh.
It’s so sad we no longer share that fun.
Though we were surely blessed to share two births
Whose raising up would be a joy to me,
To see their little faces filled with mirth.
You missed those years in choices that you made.
I understand as illness grips your heart
You think of those regrets that must be paid.
For your only son wants no part of you.
His tiny baby you will never know---
He’ll know his step-grandpa whose love is true.
Please look back and remember your great thirst
For always getting what you wanted and
Your desire of putting yourself first.
What you give out will come right back to you.
A valued lesson you have yet to learn.
You need to learn it fast, years left are few.
I truly wish you well upon this quest.
Seek this helpful knowledge within yourself.
Ask the angels to help you give your best.
These truths may cut you like the sharpest knife,
But with God’s help that dwells inside of you---
You may still change to live a happy life.
Note: For my Ex-husband whose children don't want anything to do with him. He just
had a heart attack and will soon have an operation on his heart. Our daughter drove
him home because he had no-one else to help him. Our son still doesn't care.
