Lifetime

L earn that nothing's what it seems, I nfancy to shattered dreams, F ate will have you in its grip, E ndless tears escort your trip. T rust in others soon betrayed, I njured, healing oft delayed, M ortal flesh that's born to die, E ndure the pain as years creep by.

Sometimes you have to look beyond the shattered dreams and create new ones. It's a screwed up world. I used to bitch and carry on about my dad's drinking, but he was a good father and my mother really cared for all her kids (5). I meet parents now when I'm working with kids that I'd like to spend a few days with, in a dungeon where no one could hear them scream. I've seen too many shattered dreams. Good write. Vince

Awesome Acrostic, Danielle. Sorry for making your head hurt! Your comment had the opposite effect by making me laugh, for which I thank you. Love, Nigel
