That'll be the day

Christina8

Christmas went well

it was a delight

now sitting, looking

for answers and insight

 

After the visit

with my dad

sorrowful feelings

are mine to be had

 

Out of my life

but not my head

it's best I just

lay these issues to bed

 

Easier said than done

I will surely say

when his abusive words have

no affect, that'll be the day

    A person like a parent is always in your mind and life in some way or another. So, I do not know if the day will ever arrive when the words from an abusive parent or family member will no longer impact a child. Best thing is not to become a person like that. That is what I have done. Excellent job, Christina!

      Thank you so much for your thoughtful words. At least in this case it is entirely possible for him to stay out of my life and this is the last poem he requires. Thanks again!

          In all these situations CHRIS ~ the choice is ours. I have never been abused by a Family Member ~ but the situation is even hard when it is some one you considered a Friend ~ especially when they cross your PATH. Thinking of you and praying for you 24/7. Every Blessing & Hugs ~ Yours as always BRIAN

            Yes, happier poems from now on. He doesn't deserve the energy it takes to write about him. Forgiveness is key. No more crossing paths though. Thanks for your well needed prayers! Hugs back--Christina

              As you know better than I do CHRIS ~ Poetry is very CATHARTIC (venting clears your mind and makes you feel better) Every Blessing in the future ~ Love & Hugs in the SPIRIT ~ Monkey Brian

              Really good
              Poem Chrissy
              I like it very much
              My early years
              Were shaped by
              Something that
              Doesn't deserve
              To have a title
              Parent....
              I have wrote a
              Poem but as yet
              Don't have the
              Courage to post.
              Thank you for
              This poem....
