Divorce Quote by Jane Merchant

“We will not speak of separation / While the frail hours grow less. / Nothing shall mar the brief perfection / Of our togetherness. Walk gently through the fragile hours, / Speak softly lest they shatter. / If we can keep this day intact, / Tomorrow will not matter.” quote by Jane Merchant
