A happy morn
But mom states
“Big mistake!”
My heart sobs, as it absorbs.
Dad has left
Mom bitterly wept
She fiercely declares
“T’was my mistake.”
My heart agrees, as it retreats.
Ten years old
Mom still scolds
None to play
“Illegit!” they say
My heart rends, as it contends.
Teen years come
I’m a hoodlum
Mom’s constant swears
I don’t care
My heart sobs, yet it adsorbs.
Got no job
To earn I rob
People I slay
Lay them waste
My heart’s cold as it revolts.
All people fear
When I’m near
No one cares
I am waste
My heart hurts, yet it retorts.
Off to jail
No one bails
About to die
Prayer I try
My heart cries, it feels remorse.
Mercy arrived
Her daddy died
From my blow
Yet forgiveness flows
My heart’s absolved, as it observes.
Grace from above
I didn’t deserve
Job and wife
No family strife
My heart intakes, as it partakes.
Love gently melts
Like never felt
Knows my past
Lets it pass
My heart warms, as it conforms.
New memories made
Old ones fade
Forgive my own
Build my home
My heart loves, as it unfolds.
Love I bear
Enough to share
People I care
Bring from despair
My heart’s love now overflows.
