Sarah Frieman Poet I do not know?

My Father

I'm not proud of the things my father has done
Though, I am proud of the man he has become
It took him a lifetime to figure out
Drugs were the poison that kept him closed out 
The devil feeds on fearful souls and my father's was
filled
with more then he knows
His children long for him as he clung to the needle 
Drugs are the poison the devil uses to tear families apart
Love is the tool that the Lord uses to bring them back
together.

Sharon Winter August 23, 2008 at 4:52 PM Your father may have done some terrible things, and in the long run you and your family may have suffered, along with his own suffering, but now, he is so much better than most, and that is probably partly because of what he went through. Life is strange indeed. A heartfelt write that must not have been easy. Love, Shar
