The Never Ending Battle

It sounds like this torture was inflicted by your own father, Joseph. I'm so sorry you and your siblings had to endure this. I was blessed with a loving father, but there are others out there who don't know what it means to show children love and set good examples. Very moving poem! Love, Carolyn

Good one that expresses what so many families face each day...This needs to be out for the public to know so that help for families will be there when they need it..Thanks for stopping by...Sara

wow...I can relate to this in some ways I think...so many kids go through a horrific childhood...then years down the road, when they start to actually deal with, it's a whole other horrific ordeal, trying to overcome. I've experienced this in many ways. This poem is so descriptive, so sad and yet so well written...
