you were born two weeks after your father died
the number 9
the whole crew
took over what once was beautiful

with all those things -
that should have been gone long ago
perpetauated greed and judgement
they thought
that meant i had to die along side you
i followed what i felt would save my kids
and it worked

i loved you
but i got tired of that nasty energy you brought home

after you died
so much was left unsaid
i couldnt understand
what had taken you
so far away
from the places we used to say
i love you
so i kicked you to the curb after 17 treatment centers
my record isnt prefect
but i was never a mean woman
you didnt know what i knew

i will think of you
while the words you gave me
read the words you said
find the quiet place inside of you
you had a heart of gold

The need (in good writers) to confess the truth about themselves and their take on the world. You have that "own" style of confessing and that brings the reader in.

i will think of you
while the words you gave me
read the words you said
find the quiet place inside of you
you had a heart of gold...

Love these lines.

stay out of your head--
i once saw red
but with you
my love
i know what was
said
love is never dead
today
in my gold
you will never be old
just the sweet surfer

wave he rode
hard and wet
casting off the beads of sweat


thank you dadio- you touched my soul this morning--
