the only gift I have

Folder: 
My trashcan poetry

looking into the eye's of
innocence pure
this newborn child
I hold in these shaking hands

this gift of love given onto me
makes me wonder what it is
I can give

the best gift I can give you son
is to love you an keep you safe
and to teach you
how not to be like me

I'll share my emptiness an
make sure your life is full
then I'll show you what anger
an rage have done

I'll teach you my son
Not to be like Me

this is the only gift I have

Author's Notes/Comments: 

1989 was a crossroad in my life, My son was born may 31st / I had to decide whether I was going to keep fighting for lost causes & lost people, or protect the innocent child ......Well hell yes I took the child I'm Crazy not Brain dead !!!..lol...I knew when He was grown I could always go back to My lost causes ......the funny part is He saved Me, a bundle no bigger than a loaf of bread taught Me To love !
