A Poem..
Devastation that’s the word
The word that rocks every nerve
The night I go back to in my dreams
The hatred flows just like a stream
My life was turned upside down
The judgement the pain
My family didn’t want to understand
Alone I felt dealing with this
Until I found a place that fit
These people they took me in
As if I was one of their kin
They understand me and help me
When no one else would
There are no words that I can use if I could
To thank them for all they have done
My son is my light
My rock my life
I stay strong knowing that I’m his mom
For him I would do it all
Teaching him the way of life
Advocating understanding loving all in time
