Divorce Support Forums: Poetry for Separation/Divorce

I wrote this poem while my wife and I were separated. Maybe it will resonate with someone.

Quoted from: www.unexpectedlysingle.com

"New Day New Dawn

New day, new dawn light takes shape
come reveal decisions we make
Will two or one light make real
Love and family death does steal

Small deaths, new life each day brings
to this living beating thing
In pain and hope my heart breaks
with yearning and sorrow I do wait

Youthful vows we did break
So much did infidelity take
Cannot he who conquered the grave
this love of ours fully save

His solid goodness, my shaky trust
to use as little pain as he must
To make us whole, to breath new life
to bring living union to husband and wife

Faith hope and love these remain
established through our pain
Becoming one two no more
well live a love that keeps no score

Living hearts two as one
depending daily on the Son
Learning more, forgiving longer
everyday becoming stronger

Growing old together, chairs to the west
having survived these days of angst and test
Daily in his hand and through his might
well reach green grass currently out of sight

Then one day as dawn breaks
the beauty, our breath, it will take
Our love anew, never stronger
pain and regret remembered no longer"
