Sometimes the right thing
for the children is to leave
and cut your losses

Sometimes they can feel
the poison all around them
holding on won't cure

The fighting hurts like
hammers, never doubt yourself
fixing things is pain

Pure things do await
the soul that acts so selfless
see it in their smiles

Wise poem, time mean sometime tear must flow
And you must let go, heartbreaks needed to grow

Sometimes
one's writing
yields
wisdom.

Jason, you know, I struggled with these very thoughts for a very long time.
Hard choices, hardest i ever had to make in my life and still am. But, my son, is so so happy . . . and that is what makes all the difference in the world.
God, you have been in my head as of late.
Insightful, yes yes indeed
