Help Him

It hurts me

To see him in so much pain.

The father who raised me,

Looking so plain.

I want to help him,

Show him things can improve.

I want to help him,

But what can I do?

I can’t control my mother

The papers have arrived

A 7 letter word

That would make any child cry.

Divorce.

It is normal,

Yet so final,

So sad.

I can deal with it,

but my father feels bad.

I want to help him,

That much is true.

But I am only one person

What can I do?
