August 31, 2019 
ACHE

She saw his ache …. It was in his face ….
Mothers often spot their child’s pain.
They know when something’s not
going right in their life. They know
when something is going wrong in
their marriage - like lately ….
She has watched her daughter-in-law’s
eyes scanning - another man - his
shoulders - his car - his house - his wallet ….
What’s wrong with my son? Have you
forgotten your vows and your dreams?
What about the impact of divorce
and division on my grandkids?
Have your forgotten  the old wisdom
about the color of grass in another’s yard?
