The Rug

 Imagine your standing on a rug.
 It's your favorite color and a texture you love
 
  It can be plushy and soft or firm and strong. 
  It comforts your heart and rights your wrongs
 
  Day after day, for 10 years or more
It's been your security- since the day you were born

     Now imagine it's pulled from under your feet. 
No warning, blindsided, in a haze, you can't see
 
  It seems like slow motion as your hanging mid air
Your legs out from under you, In the haze you just stare
 
  With arms spread wide, you turn your head to look down
Just a matter of time until you slam to the ground. 
 
 Confusion settles in, questions race through your mind
  Where did the rug go and where can I find?
 
 How did this happen? Did you do something wrong?
Your lost in confusion -- your rug is gone 
 
Such a change, such a tragedy, such a powerful force
      This is what it can feel like to a child of divorce.
