The day innocence disappeared
As life was created down by the Sleepy Hollow
The days of great sayings
Children bringing up children
We did okay for a time
Sadly, maturity does what it always does
Brings new horizons
Sets new goals
We were okay about it
Others weren’t
Maybe they couldn’t see beyond the hill
Time moved on, and the bond was broken
Years later, you found your soulmate
A second child was born
I found out later, a girl
I was leading my life
So in a way, it wasn’t my business
Just made it more final in a way
I agreed you should take full custody
It was the right thing to do
Upset some
But it was always me and you
I passed by the Sleepy Hollow
Maybe just to understand
It was wild and overgrowing
Pushing further to the road
Someday it would reach beyond the hill
Never looking back
I would be waiting.

A heartbreaking write Paul. Divorce is hardest on children😢 I remember it,and I'm living proof.🍻✌️🕊
It sure is, no winners to be had.
This was too deep and teary
Totally the emotions of breaking is heart wrenching
And those for the kids even more
I know, I need to get back to cheery.
You be what you want to be dear Paul
Don’t fake emotions
Let the pen soak your worries
Ink the true emotions
And when you feel cheery
Then lace the poetries with flowers of spring
Thank you for sharing this. Very sad.
It was a bit sad.
Very emotive words Paul.
Andy
