Sorrow

What is the place for the ex-wife and mother? I will have to hide much of my grief because somehow it feels -or is- disallowed. Because we are not together does it deny over a decade of strong young love or the qualities of each of us that live on in this young man? Regardless, I am sad we will not speak. I am sad we will not remember happy times. I am sad I ever hurt you, gentle man. I wish you had known the me I am now and not the one I was then.

So now you're sleeping peaceful
I lie awake and pray
That you'll be strong tomorrow and we'll
See another day and we will praise it
And love the light that brings a smile
Across your face...
