A father away
I did that
A mother sad
I caused that

Sons and a daughter sad
I did that too

Why?

My own case of cause and effect
A tough kid
Lacking love seeking love

Never receiving love

A fighter
A government produced ward
Ill prepared for a tough life

And
All the love in the world
Would not have saved me
Back then

In fact
Nothing could have saved me

Except Nerine
Except my own kids
Except her kids
Except Grandchildren

A reality
Life is short love everyone

While you can
