She did not really understand
Her mother’s love expression
Why wouldn’t she be supportive
Of the fiance making her happy?
How could she feel justified
Dismissing him offhandedly?
She claimed it was because
He was too young essentially
Sometimes the daughter thought
The root cause as type of jealousy
One thing for sure had been true
The younger man had weakened
Limited in navigation experience
He caved in to societal pounding
Which ultimately such pressures
Had him choose to break promise
