I am crying freely wihtout the help of self poisoning.
The power of feeling human, the power of the love
for a child keeps me drug free.
Keeping this heart beating, pouring the strength into the
weaken soul and to give the will to keep building during
the storms of recovery.
I will calm your waters, son.
I will be your shelter, son.
I will be all your needs because I am your father.
My love for you is immortal and undefeated.
I love you with all without questions.
For you,
I will walk the Earth,
battle all that oppose the love,
because my love is pure and true.
In my heart, I hold us in cherishing hands.
I used to envision that it
I used to envision that it might be possible one of my children would have to go through the same thing one day...and all they might have for an example of how to handle it would be how I did.... it snapped me out of stinkin' thinkin' time and time again. Be safe and at peace. This too shall pass.

Though I am not a part of his life
I still try to guide him, teach him and be as much of his life as I am able to. A lot of the poems in "The Hero has Fallen" is from last year to earlier this year. Even though the wound has healed some, it still aches and I do my best when I write or paint. I do not self poison any more because I promise myself and son, I will remain here for him unless a greater force stops me.

I am an artist of words as well as paints.
