Wasn’t much of a son
And I failed as a brother
I thought redemption would come swiftly
When I became a father.
Anticipation of redemption altered perception
Of what I thought would build manhood
My misdirected vision, ruined more lives
Than any one man should.
Unable to see the opportunities before me
Blind to the beauties presented
Harboring disdain from my past
Has forced my future to become resented.
Though I’m loved by many, and in love with one
It doesn’t suppress the guilt of a moral crime
As if stuck in an inescapable nightmare
Convinced of nothing, except that I’m
Beckoned daily by the Reapers song
Begging me to come join him
Offering me peace through a lead melody
The Angel of my destiny, as God appointed him.

S-M87,
A fine write expressing some regrets and not regarding oneself worthy!
I don’t know if this poem is referencing you or not, but we’re all worthy to live our lives the best we can! We all make mistakes! The important thing is that we hone up to them and try to do better! The strength is to deal the best way we can with what we’ve been dealt!
Let the reaper be gone unaccompanied! Peace is not what he’s offering!
~Laura~
Laura, thank you for the read. I really appreciate your comments, and the fact that you take the time to do so. Stay lovely
You’re very welcome!
I concur with Christina’s
comment. I see that you
you have children. I don’t
know how old they are, but
it doesn’t matter the age! Continue to be the good man with the big heart they see and they will know they have a loving and caring dad! They may hear about whatever past you had, but they will only relate to what they see now and the way you make them feel now and beyond as they’re growing up! They will feel your love...their dad’s love!
SM--A great write but don't give the reaper what he wants! As you say you are loved by many and in love with one! Enough reasons to stay attached to this world. You have a big heart and your children will see that as they grow up. Hard to see now, but I pray that you don't give in. Glad to see that you wrote today! Miss your writing!
Christina, long time. Glad to hear from you. Thank you kindly for the comment. I hope all is well.
