Life & Love

Dear Rose Rideout wrote "Love and Life" a blessed poem from happy memories.
I told her that it inspired me to write the revers of the happy coin, because a few of us need to shake from us all those little demons too stubborn to leave us in peace.


Poem Artwork

The illustration "Image of a sad man" is a oil painting by the author.



CHILDREN

Three boys and a girl.
Lost their innocence early, when
dreams turned into nightmares.
A old woman and three old men.

PARENTS

Indifferent father, too busy,
and too cold by any standards then,
leaving the children all alone with
the mother of all cruelties hen.

GRANDPARENTS

Perhaps the only warmth thing
one grandmother took with her
to assure the existence of love
to four youngsters nonbelievers.

HOME

Vaguely remembered, dungeons?
Home Sweet Home it was never,
can’t beat children with lumps of sugar
but you can give them welts with leather.

EXPERIENCE

Life’s lessons of the wrong kind.
Life’s comforts, not for the accusers.
Life’s love, an unending search.
Never unconditionally committed,
and never acceptance by the abused.

Very revealing and sad. But the past is over and one need only to take the lessons and look forward, never giving up on life because not all people are bad, and some are really blessings in disguise (ahem!).

Prayers and blessings to you dear friend,
Cynthia

Be always safe,

This is some powerful lessons that we can relate to. It can shape our souls into very powerful heroes who know where love ultimately flows. Perhaps even by helping others. Enjoyed

I hope this was not your upbringing George and if it was I am glad that somewhere you found the fortitude and courage to rise above it as an adult to become the man you are today. You are right though there were and still are many homes that are like this sad as it may be...it is reality.

Georg I know so many innocent children don't live the life they so deserve. If I had my way I would take every child who has no one to love them and care for them but my husband tells me it impossible so I will have to keep praying.It tears my heart out to know so many have to live through nightmares with no where to turn. With tears I read your words. Thank you for sharing.

Newfie Hugs, Rose
