When she leaves
Quiet reigns.
The house is emptier
and bigger.
She is given more freedom
there with him.
Yet some weekends
she prefers to stay with me.
She has her own room
at each parents place.
She has chores to do
that each require doing.
Yet both of us love her
and at her Father’s House
I know I can trust him
to take care of her.
That is why
she loves us both.
