A Grandfather's Divorce Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

A Grandfather's Divorce



He never told me when he left her,
I'd go through a Grandfather's divorce

The kids remote and distant
all contact scant and forced

My love sits idly waiting
for the phone to ring again

Saying "Papa we want to see you"
but Mommy's mad at men

My heart left cold and broken
warm wishes unreturned

As two children fight to understand
—a world left dark and burned
