Gordie 21 going with my gut

[Gordie]

O Gerda

Such a simple question

But a complicated answer

Standing out of obedience

Or until she comes back by a certain time

Standing for many reasons



Yes out of obedience to God

And that it is the right thing to do

And out of duty

And commitment to the vows we made

But also because I still love her after all that has happened

The beautiful and intelligent and complicated woman that she is

Yes she still fascinates me

And I still believe in her

Yes I loved the old version

And I still love the new version

Even if not all the things she has done

But also because of my children

And believe that an intact family is better for them

Where mom and dad are both present daily

Thank you for the question

And the lovely poem
