For Christy

In times of despair
I kid you not
Love is all you need
Or have you forgot

You dwell on the bad
Wish for what is not real
Blame every one else
For how you feel

No one is perfect
Hearts remains full
It's your mind that needs taming
Or it makes stupid and cruel

For my dearest Christy
Please let your son know
My door is open to him too
Our love will help him grow

Life has no wrongs
It gives you no rights
But parenthood is painful
And full of fights

Your children will learn
In order to start
Forgiveness is step one
It must come from the heart

Anger is the first emotion
It's a demon waiting in the air
You must filter it out
Focus all love to those who care
