[bodytext] => When I was a young man I was blessed to receive Three gifts of wonder the angles beget me Three baby daughters I could hold in my hand And I thanked God up above for revealing his plan Bygone memories crept in, albeit at first Of the ones, tally them two, and at their worst I, just one, defensive and small No resistance had I, to rise above all Hideous memories, a legacy long past. I solemnly declared it’s time put to end Send to hells bowels, and eternity last. I did my best and though all was well As such, some comportment By way of all strengths can’t be fought. Carved in minds stonework one can get caught As time went along, I thought I did well At least I never put my children through hell And then my marriage, of such a long time The foundation crumbled and was no longer mien A pain any stronger couldn’t be felt Till to my attention as was brought My children’s repute, revealed not the father I thought Where do I go, how will I do Delusions of their love Shattered in to. Day brake finds me trembling, at night I’m lost I weep every day for the love I have lost To abandon me, if that’s what they choose I’m just that child, alone and abused.
