''Treading Water''

I am run down,beat,exhausted,there is nothing left. Swallowed in deadened emotion. Feeling as though the price of my sacrifice is to much to bare. To keep safe what I cherish most. Yet the test of time has shifted gears. Love prevent evil. I shall rapture his sins. Stand strong in belief. Strength will prevail our destiny. Divorced,aching struggle between ex-husband and ex-wife has inspired this piece/child custody. sponsored by...J.Heck ''Simply The Best'' Contest 4/25/11

Oh, I'm so sad to hear you've been going through this, Kacey. I hope the child custody arrangements can be made so you both have time with your children. A powerful and moving poem, dear. Best wishes in John's contest! Love, Carolyn
