My Son

Father and son never saw eye to eye, too much jealousy on the patriarch side He constantly put his son down for everything he did, competing incessantly One day the son had enough and walked away, there was nothing else to do Father and son reunion you can't peel an onion without crying a few tears Ten long years passed with neither one saying a word to each other. Then one day he found a loving woman who opened his heart, he forgave. They re-connected only to find out his father had left him out of the will Anger is a monster wearing a holster with a loaded gun Abuse kept creeping in just like the old days. Verbal abuse returned Then the day came when Father got sick and he drove him to the hospital Son tried to make amends and tell his dad he loved him, he was rebuked Death can devour ego and teach you to let go or pride can win "Get out" he screamed to his son at his death bed. Adam was left, broken. It takes years to come to terms with abuse, He died November last year An empath at heart he cries at the drop of a hat. Most gentle man I ever met I should know, he is my future son in law and I am proud of him.
