Poem For Tommy Munos

when i was a child i felt the same like tommy but thirty years down the road i longed to tell that child thank god it was me who went through it all the loneliness, despair, rejections they were all worth it now as the child in me listens i get the boost of pride that i have grown, matured that the child that once cried out has been tamed tugged into that corner he could sleep well a corner where he could watch how I tackle each predicardment with god's guidance and life experience that god gives challenges to only deserving ones so that they could be strong so that they could to be able to tell their children who will face the same predicardment it is all worth it that they make them a better person to write better poetry and someone others would listen to one day for guidance think about christ (how shameful we even talk about suffering and death when christ did not even complain about his greater plight)
