Abandon

ABANDON


                   My mom took me to kindergarten, when I was five
                                She left me there...Abandon
                  At seven I lost my two front teeth, they just fell out
                          My mouth when I smile…….Abandon
                  My grandma would read to me take me to church
                        But she got ill and died left me by myself
                                                 Abandon
                         I was the smallest kid on the playground
                       No one would pass or throw me the football
                                                 Abandon
                      Now a grown man was married for 40 years
                          Wife got sick died at home in my mind
                     I cried and I asked God why He took my side
                            Once more alone I felt disbanded
                            While in my spirit I was Abandon

If fact, your journey has had it's 'cute' challenges and its deep/painful ones. I know you hold God's hand as I do (in fact, I wrote for your contest, but it had closed when I went to post), so I know that you know all human endured see us spiritual grown. I enjoyed the read. Poetry hugs ... CayCay
