FOR BETTER OR WORSE

FOR BETTER OR WORSE

Now and then I wonder

I wrote this about six weeks after my ex became my ex. I am SO glad he became my ex. My sons and I survived extremely well. Enough said!

I wonder every now and then,

How different things might be

If you stayed a little longer,

And remained in love with me.

*

Would our children have grown up to be

Happy young adults?

If you stayed, would they have run away,

Or joined some sort of cults?

*

Would they be faithful, family men,

With children of their own?

Or would they have been junkies,

With their minds and brains half-blown?

*

Ad how would I have managed,

If you had stayed a while?

Would I still have my sanity

And be able still to smile?

*

Would you have stopped your cheating?

Or would I be forever cursed?

I had hoped you would be better –

But you turned out for the worst!
