Cecilia Macfarlane Poet Limerick

Protective

Just what lengths would you go through
       To protect those that need you
            Love trumps all reason 
                  In every season
     Would you adopt the same view


TV show: Your Honor 
The storyline is about a judge whose teenage son hits and kills another teenage from a crime  family ,  he panics leaves the scene of accident.  Judge knows if he turns his son in they will kill him.

Duke Beaufort January 24, 2025 at 2:54 PM Cecilia, I commented on this poem before and it's an interesting ethical question. There are many choices we have to consider in life. This one is a difficult one indeed. I think I would not turn in my kid in these circumstances. It's very difficult dealing with people who work outside the law.

Andrea Dietrich January 15, 2025 at 12:59 PM Looks like i did read this a long time ago. So nice to see you back.

Andrea Dietrich January 15, 2025 at 12:58 PM That shows FIRST season is really good. I would not turn him in simply for the fact that the mobsters would kill the kid. However, if it were an ordinary situation, I would turn him in. It was an accident and if he were in a normal situation and turned himself in right away, I am sure the courts would go easier on him.

Andrea Dietrich February 29, 2024 at 12:40 PM Good one, and I loved the show Your Honor. However, season two I found a bit disappointing. It just did not have the same impact as season 1. Cecilia Macfarlane February 29, 2024 at 1:34 PM Good to know, love the actor Bryan Cranston , I did not see season 2 yet.

Duke Beaufort February 29, 2024 at 8:41 AM Good question indeed. We have very strong attachments to those in our family. It's something to think about.

Sara Kendrick February 29, 2024 at 4:47 AM Whoa!! I think all mothers everywhere would know what they would do. They would send their son to a place of safety if they had the resources. Thanks for sharing this serious Limerick with us and for dropping by my page. Sara K

Meanwhile, by God's grace, I greet you with the peace and joy from the Lord toward a prosperous New Year 2023 along this present: "the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 6:23 of the King James Bible). God bless you.

Duke Beaufort November 3, 2022 at 5:36 PM Just saying hello and hoping you are well. I was away for some incredible work, but perhaps will try to write more. You are very talented. Sometimes life takes us on detours...it can happen. Take care!!

Kelly Deschler September 25, 2022 at 11:09 AM I think that most parents would stop at nothing to protect their children. I know I would if given the choice... You leave the reader much to ponder with this thought provoking poem. Great work, Cecilia.
