Exceptional
This work has reached the exceptional level
He sucks the joy from ev'ry room

Kiljoy

by Janet Foor


My man is cunning and astute.
A fashion plate with dazzling flare.
The world’s great woes he carries, and
his manners’ like an angry bear.

This problematic man of mine
creates a life of doom and gloom.
His mission is to find life’s flaws
and suck the joy from ev’ry room.
 
But prayers were answered one fine night.
I calmly stood -- my heart in hand.
I told him I had changed the locks.
I said I want a Godly man. 
 
He took my words into the night
and with the help of God and prayer --
the man I love has changed his ways
abandoning that angry bear.

This was not as easy as it sounds and took years to begin but we have established boundaries, created filters, mended fences and are now building bridges. With God's help our family will survive.
