Trudy Schrader Poet Rhyme

The Binder

Her child was in need
So she gave him all she had
It was not enough....
He would have to borrow from DAD

A lecture of failure
Seemed but a little to endure
For having the need met
And living quarters ensured

Her gift gift lie dormant
Eating at his soul
Her sacrificial living
Fell short of his goal

It costs him nothing
To pay the bill on credit
He requires repayment
And is happy to badger until he gets it

Her relationship altered forever
While nothing is changed with DAD
Both continue in the belief
Living like this isn't all that bad

The binder that carries us to ABBA
Is the sacrifice we can't engage
What should be reverential gratitude
Is transformed into a powerless rage

........................I must be free.............

Then choose
Be blessed, and go your way
The sacrifice remains
In every purchase....with, and without faith
