They only thought of themselves when they said that one word <br />That's what I used to think <br />They never dared to ask us if we thought it was absurd <br />Six little kids had to hear that one word <br /> <br />We all went with mom <br />But there was a time we had to choose <br />To choose which one would give us food <br />Forced to choose one and the other excude <br /> <br />At first I thought this was rude <br />Wondered why I was forced to do a deed that need not be done <br />But this one word caused me to see the light <br />No more was my father in sight <br /> <br />He was hardly there before but after that word it ended his plight <br />He no longer pretended to be around <br />It showed me who he truly was <br />I would've never guessed he'd be such a mess <br /> <br />And I realized all of this thanks to that one word<br /><br />Ashley Stone<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/divorce-15/
