We Saw

A Poem by Slim’s Wife
"

Family drama

"
All the softball games you attended.
We saw!
All the baseball games you attended.
We saw!
All the volleyball games you attended.
We saw!
All the dance recitals you attended.
We saw!
All the time spent together.
We saw!
All the house visits.
We saw!
All the phone calls.
We saw!
All the sleep overs.
We saw!
All the fun activities you did.
We saw!
Your words, equality.
Your actions, favoritism.
Actions are ALWAYS LOUDER!
All the invites declined.
We remember!
All the missed games.
We remember!
All the empty seats.
We remember!
All the empty doorways.
We remember!
All the invites we didn’t get.
We remember!
All the the time spent with others.
We remember!
All the times that you were not there.
We remember!
Your reasons why.
Only make you feel better.
We see your reasons as excuses!
Your reason is a CHOICE!
YOU MADE IT!
Now we make ours!
Will you see?
Will you remember?
