Poem -

my misteke“s i made

suddenly everything is clearĀ 

of where i went wrong

i tried to be a different man

trying to fit in where i didn“t belong,

i hung around with those crazy peopleĀ 

who i thought where my friends

they brought me down in every wayĀ 

and into darkness i did descend,

it took so long for me to realize

that i was the better man

i will try to get my life straight

i can do this i know i can,

with a little bit of hopeĀ 

and a little bit of luckĀ 

i“ll get myself out of  this place 

where for year“s i was stuck,

but to win the trust of my familyĀ 

this will be the hardest thingĀ 

so much heart ache i did couseĀ 

so much pain i did bring,

but all i can do is try

i“ll show them how i have changed

i“ll show them the boy i used to be 

but maybe for them all this will be strange ,

to forgive someone for what they have doneĀ 

sometimes realy isen“t fun 

but you are my fameilyĀ 

and i am your falling son ,

so if one chance is all i haveĀ 

then this chance i will takeĀ 

i love you mom and dadĀ 

and promise this mistake i will never again make .

Oh Paul…I could so relate to the deep and truly heart aching write! This poem is an open wound of remorse. Ā This write is one of determination to move forward, past the pain. Ā This write if one of honor. Ā ThisĀ write is a dedication and a promise to loving parents. Ā This write is wonderful!

looking out my window at a dancing corn field
reminding me of home
so far away from my land...
