FAMILY STRIFE, by BONNIE DAY First Line: There was one who called her wife Last Line: The fabric of her heart. | |||
There was one who called her wife; One, who called her mother. Each laid hands upon her life And pulled against the other. Neither one would ease the strain Lest he should lose his part. Hands that loved her, rent in twain The fabric of her heart. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LAUGHTER (YOUTH SPEAKS TO HIS OWN OLD AGE) by CONRAD AIKEN OVID, OLD BUDDY, I WOULD DISCOURSE WITH YOU A WHILE by HAYDEN CARRUTH FOR ST.
