George wrote this poem in 2005. His words eleoquently express what he was going through at that time. His girlfriend has moved on and does not communicate with him at all. Prison has changed him and now he he's studing to become a minister and helps others who are in the work camp.

George has a wonderful way of putting his emotions into words. he is a great writer and I am sure he wll be a fine minister. Thank you for sharing with us MaryGrace.
