~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Michael was only ten years old
He stood there with a girl from down the street
Both pants down and ready
Michael was going to give her a treat

That one night of curiosity
Led these children to have one of their own
Was one fourth of their lives even lived?
They we're babies themselves; not even grown

Jenny was only twelve years old
Seeing death , is what she faced
Her daddy's murdered body
Memories , that could not be erased

Once a young happy child
Now darkened eyes , beyond their years
Unable to trust and love again
A life wasting , running from her fears

Melissa's mom fell asleep
The next morning she didn't wake
She thought her mommy was just dreaming heavily
But she really overdosed from all the drugs she'd
take

She lived her life in fear
Her mothers image was clear as day
Mouth open, eyes open
That memory will never go astray

Tony's dad has lost his job
with four hungry mouths to feed
his momma had past away a year ago
they are a family in desperate need

Tony at age fifteen is working
delivering papers to pay the rent
keeping nothing for himself
not even one red cent

Johnny was only five
His sister raped him once a night
His mother hit him constantly
Kids always made fun of his over bite

With only left overs from his sister
Johnny ate nothing at all
He just lay on his cob webby bed
In a room with only four walls

Michael is now twenty-one years old
His child , Anna just reaching ten
Thought many times about giving her up
But his heart won , in the end

Graduating and going on to collage
Holidays is what he loves the most
Raising his glass , on thanksgiving day
God thank-you for this child, is his toast

Jenny is now twenty three
Met a man just like her dad
He brought new light to her world
Erasing the memories that were bad

Both of them going to law school
Wanting to get married in a while
The presence of her father travels with her
With every walking mile

Melissa was a mirror of her mother
But it was only their beauty that was the same
A child dealt a rotten hand , of life
Yet determined to carry on with the game

She put herself through college
A caring counselor she would grow to be
Counseling addicts like her mother
Something her mom would've been proud to see

Tony worked hard his teenage years
Helping his dad out of depression
Still kept his grades up in school
He kept his brothers out of detention

One Christmas when Tony was eighteen
His father won the lotto
They now have everything they've wanted
Even after paying back money they borrowed

Johnny turned out to be a fine young man
Training his body hard each day
Now he's fighting criminals
Graduating police training in May

He no longer hides ashamed
For he has long since fixed his over bite
Courage and strength his family
determined to succeed ,with all his might

Aren't me all a Michael?
Or have a Tony in us?
Haven't we all been treated like Jenny?
Or Melissa with no one to trust?

There are days well wasted in our lives
But they come out to be the better half
There are days ahead that will be better spent
We all just have to let go of our past
