YESTERDAY I TRIED A DIVORCE
SO MUCH PAIN
BOTH HURTING
NO COMPROMISE POSSIBLE
THE CHANCELLOR SPLIT THE FINANCIAL BABY
ANGER IS EASIER TO CREATE
THAN IT IS TO DISPELL
DIVORCE IS A MEDIPHOR FOR LIFE
We will all have to deal with pain
None opting out on hard times
We will be hurt by strangers
And worse by those we love
We still have the choice
Of how we react to pain
We can lash out to make sure
The other one knows pain also
Trust me after thirty-five years of divorces
Bread is never sliced so thin
That it has only one side
There is enough pain to go around
So it is with all of life
If we try to get even
The person hurt most is us and those we love
Today you have choices
to feed your anger
Or to help the healing to begin
The choices mostly won’t be in a divorce
Maybe in being slighted at work
Misunderstood at home
A thousand other kinds of pain
Please simply forgive
That is a power to protect yourself
That no one can take from you
Do yourself a favor
Never cherish a hurt for In the cherishing there is death to your soul
