Divoce In Kids Eyes Poem by Houda Boukassoula

It started when, a glow,
In your eyes I saw
It made me take midnight for dawn
Maybe the smile hiding your grief
Made me desperately hope for relief
Maybe it was a mere childish belief
That parents should always agree
In your hand a suitcase, I didn't see
I saw in the other a wet handkerchief
It was only when I felt your tears
Falling unwillingly on my cheeks
That I felt rising all my old fears

A friend of mine told the story in brief
He said that parents though mature
Are not always of their feelings sure
They can fall in love and even engage
Give birth to children, then suddenly change
After some monotony or a storm of rage
Leaving kids face life alone and at any age!
