-Tragic Betrayal
She came from humble beginnings
A happy ,only child
A quiet, loving family
Her parents both meek and mild
A unassertive, shy girl
By many considered plain
She had a few good friends
Her strength her bright, enquiring brain
She studied hard which she enjoyed
Like many young girls she dreamed of romance
Sadly, it never came her way
No male attention, no first kiss, no first dance
Her desire was to be a lawyer
Which she easily achieved
She flourished and blossomed over the years
Male attention and pursuit she now received
She dated many then found the one
A kind , thoughtful, loving man
She married late, she was happy
Years had flown by … so a baby was the immediate plan
Becoming pregnant did not come easily
In fact it didn’t happen at all
It was all she thought about and wanted
As an older woman…. this was her one and only call
Due to their hectic schedules seperate Drs they did see
Their tests showed there was no obvious reason why
“Keep on trying” was the advice for now
Tears of pure sadness she did cry
He lay on the kitchen floor
Covered in blood and without breath
She stood over him bloodied knife in hand
Knife wounds to his chest… is how he met his death
She had found his hidden papers
Completely distraught ,devastated by his dishonesty
He had robbed her only chance of having a child
When two years ago….he had a vasectomy!
