SandySue Burnworth Poems

My husband I love you, in my way.
You in turn love me in your way.
I kiss you and say I love you,
You make me breakfast in bed.
...

One day I'll grow up and leave you, she would say.
One day I'll make my own rules, she would declare.
One day I'll have a daughter of my own, she would cry.
One day I'll be a mommy, you'll see, she would proclaim.
...

This time he'll change he promised me.
He lied.
This time he won't hit me you'll see.
He lied.
...
