This is how I viewed my childhood and this is really how it was. I only wanted to say that there is goodness in the end.

Memories have no shadows
Like monsters under the bed
They come upon us unaware

I sit at my window
Marveling at the sun
Fresh mown grass
Tangy on the breeze

I see no shadows
The monster of memory comes

A wanting childhood
A house filled with
The great unwashed
Smoke and whiskey laced air

Drawn drapes
Closed windows
To keep the secrets in???
No sun to sparkle
Thru grimy windows

Food for nourishment
No food for the heart
No food for the soul
No words of guidence
No words of praise
No encourgemnet
No LIGHT

In darkness and distress
The need to run, to escape
To leave that wanting childhood

When the monsters finally go
I am so relieved
I bask in the sun
I feel the breeze
I smell the green

With the grace of God and
A self promise
Never to miss the glowing
Simplicity of life
And to be grateful
I am free
