    Being a parent doesn't mean you are a parent, if that makes any sense.
    Great free verse, Craig. I think this is where it comes into its own - it allows you to just vent without restriction.

    All the best as ever,
    Ben

    My...the weight in your heart is felt in each line you
    have penned. Its sad when a parent takes a wrong turn towards
    a child and it takes that much strength and bravery to rip away
    from that dismal environment...well done...you did well!
    Take care..

    Thanks dude

    was in a bit of a funny mood when I wrote this. A few minutes before starting it I had a bad phone call about the passing of a friend.

    Cogs turn and things pop out I guess. The brain is a funny thing, as my mate and poem are totally unrelated

    The only common denominator is me, and people dying around me. I guess that's maybe what happens when you get older, but it's crap when people die before their time.

    Anyway thanks for your comments fella

    Craig
