"A Scary Memory"
 
"Memories that linger"
 

I remember a scary day when I was seven,
 
My mom went to work the night before at
eleven.
 
My siblings and I lived at my grandparents
with my mother,
 
I remember the three of us watched out for
one another.
 
The babysitter called the police that night,
 
Said there was no food anywhere in sight.
 
That morning the police came to take us away,
 
I told them I had to go to school that day.
 
I kicked him in the shin, I was so scared,
 
All three of us were crying...but nobody cared.
 
They took us to Guardians Home where we had
to stay for many days,
 
Then daddy came to take us home with him
and said we'd be okay.
 
He took good care of us for many years,
 
He tried to erase the memories and fears.
 
Our stepmom helped him raise all three of us,
 
She did it without ever putting up a fuss.
 
Our Mom loved us though...I never doubted that,
 
The babysitter was mad at her...that's where it
started at.
 
What kind of woman she must have been...well I better
not say,
 
I am sure she got paid back...in many different ways.
