Poem # 12 To my family and friends on my birthday (2012)


As I look back at the years that have gone,
Thoughts that I think, would best fit in this poem;
Found that trust can be seriously misplaced,
Life’s balances completely displaced.

Managed last year to keep away from my sights,
Evil that caused me most of my plights;
It’s hard for me to accept and say,
That this came at a price, that I was forced to pay.

Now that its time to assess where I stand,
Am sad about the pact, that’s gotten so out-of-hand;
Lack of loyalty, trust and broken promises,
Prove that true love, was not in the premises.

With a house, now I no longer need to roam,
But gone is the love, that would have made it a home;
Made great friends, who stand by my side,
Without knowing it, they make it worth-the-while.

Looking back at the years that have passed,
It seems to me like triumph was on a fast;
Hopefully the misses that life had in store,
Are all over, with the year before.

Thank God for the family that I grew up with,
No matter what, they make it a hit;
Glad for the nephew who makes my life a charm,
With such friends and family, no grief can cause me harm.
