I Broke My Heart

Father found a letter to my mother

from a soldier who had been

at home when Father was away.

Mother quite denied that more

than friendship had occurred

(which all agreed was not undue)

but Father could not find

the generosity of soul to own

that anyone else but he could serve

her need, could play his part.

Nothing after was the same;

he left - and broke my heart.
