Bette Bavington Poet Villanelle

Is This Right

I am traveling lite.
Trying to get away from terror, 
Bewilderment, frustration, and despair.
I left my life behind as I travel
Through the night.
It hides all the dirt where the sun light
Makes it all reappear.
I am traveling lite
Through my plight
Not to many people care.
I left my life behind as I travel
Through the night.
One day I will make it in to the light.
I know I will have to pay a fare.
I am traveling lite.
I taste my salty tears.
I left my life behind as I travel
Through the night
Hello! Mom. I am all right.
I can't tell you where.
I am traveling lite.
I left my life behind as I travel
Through the night.

Al Juman August 25, 2018 at 5:38 PM Bette, I'll keep you in my prayers. Sometimes we've got to do what we have got to do. I did too. the thing is not to get swallowed up in the wrong lane Bette Bavington August 25, 2018 at 7:24 PM Al, there has been a lot of things that have gone under the bridge. I have eleven children. I always try to do what is right. Each child is different none are the same. I have one who came back from this. I have another one that is trying. Thank you very much for your kind words. My other daughter did get swallowed up. I lost her 4 years ago. I will keep you in my prayers. Thank you for stopping by and reading.
