“INNOCENCE”

I’VE BEEN SHACKLED BY YOU SINCE BIRTH, YET HANDLED WITH GLOVES,

LEARNED HARD MISTAKES FROM YOU – YES I AM SPEAKING OF LOVE,

LUCK HASN’T ALWAYS BEEN ON MY SIDE,

BECAUSE OF YOU AND MY DEEP PASSION FOR YOU I ALMOST DIED,

I ALMOST MADE MY FAMILY FOREVER MOURN – FOREVER CRY,

AT TIMES I WAS AT MY LOWEST AND I DID CARRY LIES,

ALL CAUGHT UP TO ME AND FAVOR WAS SOMETHING I CONSTANTLY TRIED TO CHASE,

SUFFERING FROM SYMPTOMS OF DEMENTIA WHILE LIVING IN AN ASTHMATIC STATE,

CLINCHING MY CHEST FOR YOU I COULD NO LONGER WAIT,

SOME DAYS I CHOSE TO CHOOSE MY DESTINY AND CREATE MY OWN FATE,

LOVE FOR YOU I DID PATIENTLY AWAIT,

I HAD TO LEARN HOW TO FALL AND GET UP FROM GOOD AND BAD BREAKS,

THERE IS A FINE LINE THAT AT TIMES WE CANNOT SEE NOR CAN WE DELINEATE,

THERE ARE PLENTY FORKS IN THE ROAD SOME EASY AND SOME HARD DECISIONS WE MUST MAKE,

LOVE YOU HELD ONTO ME SOME CLOUDS BLOCKED THE SUN AND SOME CAUSED MASSIVE QUAKES,

LOVE I ALWAYS NEEDED YOU AND WANTED YOU, BUT FOR ME YOU CAME, YOU LEFT, AT TIMES MY HEART YOU DID FORSAKE,

I KNOW YOU COME IN SO MANY DIFFERENT FORMS, YOU SPEAK MANY DIFFERENT LANGUAGES, AND COME IN MANY DIFFERENT SHAPES,

THE PAIN ……MY GOODNESS I WON’T EVER FORGET THE PAIN THAT YOU CAUSE AND HOW IT THROBS AND ACHES,

YET WHEN I HAVE FALLEN DOWN YOU WERE THERE AS WELL TO HELP ME UP AND TELL ME IT IS OK FOR MY MISTAKES,

YOU CARED FOR ME, HELD ME CLOSE, AND ENSURED ANOTHER DAY I WOULD AWAKE,

 YOU HAVE THE POWER TO PUT A FORCE THROUGH ME AND AT THE SAME TIME TAKE OUT THAT VERY STAKE,

IT HAS BEEN SAID AND WRITTEN THAT LIFE AND LOVE ARE NO PIECE OF CAKE, 

WHEN GOING DOWN A SLIPPERY SLOPE THERE IS NO EMERGENCY BRAKE, 

I KNOW YOUR INNOCENCE,  LOVE THROUGH GOOD AND BAD I STILL OWE YOU MANY THANKS.
