Gone

I used to walk
ever so heavy
step on a crack
does it really break your mothers back?
I guess I wouldn't know
Maybe it applies to dads too
In a trance of the quiet
I noticed
I had begun skipping
over the cracks and the rips
on the rough concrete floor
hoping it would help

Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." God bless you.
