I do not blame you
younger me
You were just a victim
this I now see
You are not the reason
we are in pain
I know you were helpless
crying in vain
I absolve you of the hurt
he has made us feel
You were too young to protect yourself
our suffering is real
Please forgive the fool I've been
I dealt the best I could
If I could relieve your agony
in a heartbeat I would
I must be strong for the both of us
turn acute sting to mild
Learn to love you and me
recover me, my child

Thanks and keep writing.

Wow Casey,

This brought tears to my eyes. Very moving.

Peace,
Bill
