She’s exonerated and forgiven – now as we speak <br />she’s at the bedside of a dying inmate in the old <br />age home she once worked at; it doesn’t matter <br />what her car breakdown-evening meant to me, <br />spoiling my small, bureaucratic life – happy in <br /> <br />Being my beloved’s wife, with two wonderful kids; <br />my disappointment about an evening with twin <br />sis collapsing into noise and anger hasn’t any <br />value in the grand scheme of things, it’s wrong to <br />expect her to face trials of life the same way as I <br /> <br />Demand of myself. She’s had such a hard life it is <br />grand having a twin sis on whom she can vent <br />frustrations, she can be freed to others needing <br />her more than I – if only I could learn to be there <br />for her whichever way she wants of me, but <br /> <br />No matter, all’s sorted now, car okay as behoves <br />a magical car and mechanic making a pass at her <br />simply revealed that her beauty influences men <br />so much – though she’s not interested as she’s <br />here to serve the old and disadvantaged <br /> <br />I’m sorry I was shocked by her attitude – not <br />understanding how much pain she carries, now <br />realising her inner beauty derives from serving <br />her fellow-men – while I serve my little core <br />family intent on too beautiful sounds… <br /> <br />16 August 2013<br /><br />Margaret Alice Second<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/exonerated-revised/
