Freedom’s Ring

Captivated by romance while wearing rose colored glasses, 

being predominantly intimate, a family is crafted. 

 Uncharted roads with lethal love as the driver,

a baby arrives in the midst of disaster. 

 A beautiful boy born in November, 

flourishing rapidly despite the frigid winter. 

 Mom and dad constantly at battle, 

leaving holes in the walls causing collateral damage. 

 Dad lays roses full of thorns 

in every crack and crevice of the house he transformed.

 Mom is drowning, fights to survive, 

walks on eggshells with fear in her eyes. 

 One hot summer day after dinner was served,

a thorn pierces mom worse than ever before. 

 Baby by her side, nothing to her name,

 the finale of this cycle, 

 she hears Freedom’s Ring.
