REMEMBERING MOM


It's that day again to remember Mom
Thirty five years now she is gone
She taught me lessons right from wrong
She protected me from Evil wasn't strong
Her love of Jesus others thought did not belong
Her life was cruel how so much faith?
She died in his arms the pain he did erase
Since she's gone in my world an empty space
Tomorrow in my world will be just another day
But forgive me now I think of Mom and pray
She sits before me in a frame on the lawn
And I know finally happy no bruises that did not belong

This as is recognizable is about spousal abuse.
Mom took many beatings from my drunken father keeping
him from hurting us. I know from reading others
know what I am referring to. Alcoholism is a cruel
and torturous decease. Sorry Mom, unlike you I cannot
turn the other cheek. I only feel bad the gun misfired.
He burns in hell where he belongs.
