How…do we stand back

and watch them suffer

arms over their heads

waiting for the bullets to fall

and pierce their skin

stained dark as the hardened ground

and draw out the blood

that will stain the earth

with rusted puddles

All that my father asked from me was some of that unconditional love.  My self-righteousness cost me a lot of good memories over the years.  I could have forgiven and loved my father.  Love would have taught us to heal our wounds.  I hope that nothing in this life should cause my own sons and my daughter to despise me the way I dealt with my father.  I cannot imagine living my life without their love.  I know now that a good parent never forgets to love a child, even when a foolish child can justify not loving their parent.
