 Contemporary poetry by Dan Donlan

DEALING WITH LIFES TURNS



My life has alway been
dealing with life's turns
My youth was poverty no
yearning to remember burns
My father was an abusive
alcoholic wife beater
But Mom, you would have
loved her if you could meeter
I learned, will never be like him
Mom was my rock taught me what I know
One day I'll see her in heaven, him far below
The challenges to live I meet one at a time
Some who lived the same life turn to crime
As I grew older my mothers words come to me
To deal with life's turns be all you can be
My advice to you complaining the world you found
Deal with it my friend, turn your life around
