Chronic Ache in the Soul of a Single Parent
There is a chronic ache in the soul of a single parent. It lingers, feeling endless. This ache feels so difficult, especially when you look at other families. They seem so… whole. They seem so joyful and complete. There is a husband and a wife and children in a stroller. Thinking about your single state, you realize how awkward you feel, how out of place at various functions and gatherings. They are all happily together and you’re miserably alone. Disappointment with the current life circumstances just settles in to stay, or so it feels. How could these layers of disappointment be broken up anyhow?

I love poems about a sunrise. always promises hope for a new day.
Lovely haiku showing the beauty of the beginning day with the rising sun. Well written and amazingly done! <3
A powerful 3 line quote as I'm reading between the lines, Let there be Light, and the world came into existence. Fantastic read, thanks for sharing.
