Sounds like a few characters I once knew in Chi-Town.

Sometimes we seem to never learn. Wonder why? I imagine it is different according to the person, but basically I guess we just need the touch and support of another human being, and so what if they are flawed? Give a chance, we can change them. Whoop-de-doo, how many times has THAT been tried and will be tried in the future. Good poem. Fantastic moral.

very good!

Lame excuses fall on deaf ears and are forged within fragile and hopeful hearts, probably... at least, very trusting ones. Love is always spelt R-I-S-K and it takes courage and strength couched in vulnerability to walk that road completely openly. Yet strong is the heart forged and refined in the heated furnace of harsh experience... it heals itself and provides meat and shelter for others less strong. A good parable here, Eileen, which many can relate to. Guess it just goes to show that Prohibition should always remain with us... but with US making the wise decisions as to what that should be!

poignant read

excuses when turned to repentance, bring healing and new life.

Wise are the fool hardy after the fact.
