other way

To turn away from something loved ;
can damage ones own heart,
many prayers to heaven above,
Is where I had to start....

Defeated by ones own choice ,
to want a loving life;
has met its match for me,
with that first Bride ; my wife....

I have reached deep down inside ,
and tried so many things;
to overcome my sadness ,
Is where my poetry  rings ....

Two sons I was parted from ,
because a Mothers true intention;
was to chew up men she encountered,
later with no mention....

A heartless ,
led by her Mother;
who was evil inside out,
should have killed them both,
and did the 20 years no doubt....

My concern was my boys did need ,
a loving family member ,
every month and all year long,
so a good life they'd rememebr ....

shot to the wayside ,
she only cared for only one;
if not for the Grandmother ,
these boys lives would have been done....

So run away you ,
your evil side has shown,
from dancing at Pandoras ;
to know being all alone ...
