Make a Place Feel Like a Home

It is not The Refrigerator almost empty or unplugged... It was The Children with-in with All Their kisses and hugs. It definitely isn't The Cheating Heart that cons and lies. It was The Hard Working Parents that had often been seen and would try. A Home isn't suppose to be filled with dynamic fighting and swears... It was suppose to be filled with Happy Children to love,kiss,and reflect the care. It isn't suppose to be painful or hurtful to step inside this House. But a destroyed Parent drunk and disorderly was feeling like a louse. It is having Good Memories of Childhood to make OUR Places feel like a home... Some may have to renovate,rebuild,and put up with a whole New attitude Zone. A Home should of been filled with love,warmth,and comfort offered freely to hold. Prayers said as Children are neatly tucked into a warm bed with stories to behold. It certainly is not a beating for All the times You should of got One and did not. Or hiding in fear in closet and feeling It is You very disturbed when it really rots. It is The gathering of A Family dancing,playing Together,and singing Songs. Never to be constantly Yelled at and condemned to always feel like Your wrong. It is definitely not what You never got that turns sadness into horrific gloom. It is the way We are not treated By Each Other when trapped in these rooms. For A Place to feel like Home;It has to be sealed with passion and loving care. It isn't to go back to a memory filled with heart wrenching tears and unbarring dares. For Today My Place in life is staying with a Real Man filled with love to appreciated. The regrets of Our past that We will never forget and forever recalling to hate. To make A Place feel like a home is a way to replace hatred One Day at a time.. Held By A forgiving touch is A Family healing through The Grace of God in Our Prime. 09-18-2014

Thank you for sharing such a vulnerable, emotional experience. I hear pain, torment, fear, innocence lost, and loudly your commitment to create a beautiful, loving, safe, nurturing home. Very poignant piece. You might like my poem "Memoirs of a Gaysha" Scott

Charlene, I see you asking people how you can know you won. they probably did not answer you because like me, maybe they don't see your replies to them.For example, many members here do not get notifications of the replies.You should go to the poems of these poets and talk to them!! Hope you learn the ropes here. There are many cool things to learn, and welcome to Soup.

Thank You so much for Your Advice and Help...Andrea I sure do appreciate it...Good luck and God Bless You with All Your entries and in general...This is so new to Me and at times I just get a little overwhelmed.I am not very skill with categorizing My Poetry...It is like going back to school after not being in school for 40 years...I think I need to take a small break from it once more...even though it is very cool...There is just so much I'm not understanding Friend...

Your message is here Is SO important and I am sorry you had to grow up in an evil environment where love and compassion were lacking, as you described above this poem. your story really interests me, what you must have gone through. Have you written any poems about it? From what I see in this poem, you are now with a loving husband. If that is true, I am so happy for you!!

Yes Ms.Andrea...You did not offend By feeling My Pain.It is normal.But Please never feel sorry for Ones remorse in Pain...I'm gonna tell why? It Makes Them,builds,and strengthens Them to Be All They can Be...I prefer a hug.to update You I did write a book on My Life and have a manager in heavy pursuit of getting it developed...When it comes out it is called,"Trouble Me." My next book has a plot to turn All the Villains into Heroes...So it will Be interesting.I'm so happy Friend,TY!
