Where O Where?

WHERE O WHERE? - Ed Iacona

On a hot and steamy summer night,
While eating Italian lemon Ices,
I thought again of the dismal plight
Caused by her Mid-Life Crises.

Say what you will to defend your 'change'
Deep inside you know what's true.
Our lives you hurt and made re-arrange
Yet my prayers ask, Where are YOU?

You said you aren't living your life
For your children and me too.
You sought escape as mom and wife
Still I question, Where are YOU?

In nature all birds leave the nest
But before they take to the blue
Two parents teach them to be their best
I'm here. Where are YOU?

So, Maysie, am I your Horton?
I'm still caring after you flew.
Trying to balance on a branch
And wondering, Where are YOU?

You left your family to seek your 'light'.
That is what you said was true.
Yet, one wonders how you sleep at night
We're here, Where are YOU?

Our daughter is in all honors,
Taking college level Spanish too...
Yo tengo un pregunta grande,
¿Adonde estabas tu?

All the shades of their growing up,
No matter what we go through,
Should be part of our family's loving cup
But sadly, Where are YOU?

Your poetry always speaks to me with such emotion and meaning. I hope she comes to her senses before it's too late. I am truly sorry you are going through this pain.

Oh this is right to the bitter truth and heart of it. I am so sorry this is going on.
The verse once again well written, even in the midst of such turmoil in your heart the poetry comes forth honest, beautiful and deeply moving.

Yes that question where are you? That can be one of the hardest to answer, it is the not knowing isnt it?

Hugs you
Michelle
