Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Pocket of Truth

She hated being home alone.

He was gone on business so much.

They had no children of their own.

This saddened her, their life as such.

Since soon their would be winter chill,

His heavy coat she'd send out to

Be cleaned, so ready to fulfill

His warmth on business trips he'd do.

Going through a coat pocket, she

Found a scribbled note, that did seem

Done by a child. How could this be?

"Thank you, Daddy, for the ice cream."

A heartbreaking find for this wife,

Husband leading a double life.
