Patrick....we met at Kairos in SQ when we sat at the same table. You gave me this address and I just started reading your work. Thank you an I'll keep reading. In Christ, Roger
so true. people think that just because we are "prisoners" that somehow we lost all of our humanity. Not true. We got caught. That's the only difference between "us" and "them"! Very nicely written
so positive. There is a reason for everything. Growth is painful, but it sounds like you're making it through and making the best out of the situation you are in. God is good, but you know that. Hang in there man, this too shall pass!!
Beautiful poetry! It is so true! Everyone has an angel and a devil on each shoulder. Some people hide it better than others... but does that really make them better? I vote no. We are all one, just with different resources and opportunities. But they cant hide forever. Hang around a person long enough and their true nature comes out. There is good in everyone, just like there is bad. Focus on your good, its there!
Boy isn't that the truth. We are told to do things in prison and because were in shackles its acceptable.... but once we've paid the price of our crimes, back into the world we go with a big stamp on our foreheads: damaged goods, violent criminal, dangerous! We pay for the rest of our lives for something we had the misfortune of getting caught for. meanwhile the doctors and lawyers of the world keep on making money because they simply did not get caught!

Thank you for the birthday wishes. As for my hair it’s still as dark as ever. Admittedly I do have a stray grey here and there but nothing too obvious. I would say I’ve aged well no one ever believes I’m 40 and a grandmother. My grudges are simply that you’ve made me to be a bad person. As you said your mother didn’t approve of me not because my ethnicity but because of who I was. I suppose it’s good she’s never met my children because they are so much like me it’s scary and I’m sure she’d hate them too. You talk as though your paramours were more deserving of your love than me. I wasted my youthfulness on a man who couldn’t see me through his lusting over other women. Who couldn’t see that I would’ve walked to the ends of the earth for. A girl who gave up her dreams to follow yours. I remember what it was 23 years after first hearing it. “A nice house in the country with a couple of kids playing in the yard with a cat. I’ll have a sports car in the garage and you’ll have a big truck” I remember thinking that it sounded nice and I loved you so much. I will never care to meet Jaimie and my children care not to meet her or her offspring. It is what it is. You may have been taken away from the other children but you walked away from mine. They know that and I’m sorry I couldn’t protect them from that pain.
Hi Gary, I’ve been going down memory lane myself. I put 8 albums together this week. I have been going on 60-90 minute walks. I have four weeks off and need to communicate. I believe the Lord lead me to this sight. It helps to see what others are going through.
