I will word this bluntly...ONE DAMN GOOD WRITE! This is so close to home that I now have tears in my eyes Linda! If my parents would/could have been even the friend that you have been to me over the last two years I would have had it made. Thank you for the friendship and the love you have shown to me over the last 2 years. It has been something that I never did get from my parents growing up. You are truly an angel sent from the heavens to me Linda..I love you darlin'! Ross

Sad, and a terrible amount of truth.
Children pushed aside because of
a parents vice.

Well-written, Linda, engulfing the child inside of me as an adult...lonely, saddened child, swinging to the rhythym of self-love...

For some childhood is so sad, is it not ,Linda? You write so many beautiful poems capturing the sad aspects of childhood and your poems make me more aware of how blessed I was to have had angels not only as parents but my four grandparents too they all made childhood beautiful for me ,I only wish it was the same for everyone.Thank you for reminding us that there are so many out there suffering and I for one should be doing more to help them.Good reminder,thanks...Well done Linda!

Linda,

I can relate to this one
"Never go back home
No one there loves me
They won't know I'm gone....

Swing! Swing! Swing! "
