I had to nominate this.

So much of it resonated. My two have had really bad starts in life and witnessed things they never should have.

In some weird way it's brought them to me and mine. Sometimes the bad leads to good things.

So so pleased I found your poem

Alice, this was hard to read, not how you wrote it but the content. So many children get their start in horrific conditions, things that no child should ever experience. You told his story well..
