FAMILY SECRETS

It's a century ago now
My Sis is in heaven
Don't much care where Don is!
I was a freshman in high school
Donn was a Senior
Sis was nine years old
A pretty girl and naive
She came home one day crying
She couldn't play with her best friend anymore
Her Brother was making her do things
Now Donn was my boyhood Idol
Starting Catcher Home Run hitter
Scouts were coming to see him play
I was on the Freshman team
Six foot two one hundred forty pounds
Don was six foot two twenty
Mismatch anyway you looked at it
Stepdad stopped me at the front door
It is not your problem Dandy
There was bad blood between us now
The Freshman practiced against the Varsity
Lots of chatter not friendly between us
One day we were practicing signs
I was given the sign to steal home
Don missed the sign and lined the ball at me
I was out for a week with a groin injury
The following week he was catching
My steal home sign with two strikes call off
The ball was in the dirt and I hit him full on
After his surgery the scouts stopped coming
Two year later he was arrested for another young girl
Her Father was a local mechanic
Donn's break lining was cut one day
His car went off a cliff and he lived disabled
No I had nothing to do with it but they never
did prove who cut his brake lining
There were several incident involving this man
Young girls well read this an know
Such a abuse is like spousal not easy to get beyond
