The woman sits in the silent house.
Always she is alone.
Even when the children surround her
playing on the patio of stone.
Her husband present or often gone
Does not a difference make.
Because the relationship between them
has long been ready to break
She hopes for the best with a prayer
And repeats to herself “it’s okay.”
But the heart of a betrayed wife
aches on through the rest of the day.
"If it were just another woman
I could fight for his attention
But he’s rapt in success and power
and his career has all his devotion."
The woman sits in the silent house
.Still she is always alone.
Soon she’ll take the children
and leave this home of stone.

Author's Comments: Too often we allow the outside priorities, career, money, power become our prime concern and forget the ones that are really important family, friends, giving of yourself.
