a lunatic on-one....

I wrote this when the cold war was at its hight and the nuclear threat was very real.

2001 

this was inspired by a passage read in a book many years ago....

THIS POEM IS ALMOST 10YRS. OLD NOW ,BUT WHEN EVER I READ IT IT TAKES ME BACK IMMEDIATELY TO A TIME IN MY SONS LIFE WHEN  IT WAS A HELL FOR HIM AND OUR FAMILY. I AM PROUD TO SAY HE IS A 32 YR. OLD MAN NOW WITH CHILDREN AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF HIS OWN. IF 1 MOTHER READS THIS AND FEELS THE DESPERATION I FELT ALL I CAN SAY IS TO BE THERE AND NEVER SHUT THAT DOOR WNTIRELY, THERE IS ALWAYS TOMORROW AND ALWAYS HOPE .AS A MOTHER WE NEVER EVER GIVE UP

This is  really about a  time  in my life where  i  just got out of a relationship and i started to  abuse  drugs Thinking it  would fill the gap... it didn't.

A woman and her husband had three children, when drugs and alcohol tore them apart.  A very loving mother and father abandoned their children to pursue a life of hopelessness.  Gone from her children for many years one day she turned around to find God.  She faught to bring her children a life they always deserved and eventually she gave them a home of love.  The father was in prison for many more years but had kept in correspondence with his children.  She looked for love to find her but held out by the voice of God.  Then one day the trees on the bank moved aside as he came home a new man but with the same love for his wife.  They now live together as a family and have nothing but time to look forward to.  It is love that makes the world go round, I am certain!
