Analysis of Parents



What is a shoulder it's something to cry on,
What is a Mother, she's one to rely on.
What is a Father, a man of solution.
The people you turn to for that resolution.

You often ignore the good that they give,
When you lose all the motive and reason to live.
You hide in the closet, keep everything hidden,
Afraid to confess to what is forbidden.

But what you don't notice, is that they are there,
No motive no reason, except that they care.
So take full advantage of this wondrous gift,
I never had none such, you getting my drift.

Just a person who might have suffered more than his fair share of suffering but still lives to tell the tale. Found writing and writing found me. Everything I do is dedicated to my dear Wife and children Emma and Jamie and my mentor Rob Middlehurst. more…
