My Broken Heart Poem by Nancy Butler

I wrote this poem on April 27,2010 just after my husband and I bought our home in Grass Valley. I was feeling very neglected and lonely because he was still working in the Bay Area (3 hours away) and was only home on the weekends. I already was suffering the 'empty nest' syndrome. I was used to being in a very busy house with my kids and their friends (who often lived with us!) I am soooo glad that I did not react to these feelings because I adjusted and my husband and I are still together and now I have my grand kids that keep me busy. So I dedicate this poem to the knowledge that I have acquired through the years of living. I used to be very impulsive and now I take one day at a time.... slowly!
