Veterans All

Blamed Father for this strife,
how he twisted and spun our life,
seldom paused to give a thought
for the many wars that he fought –
how conflict made us victims all
veterans who from favour did fall.

Permission to write, paint, and imagine are the gifts I gave myself when chronic illness hit - a fair exchange: being for doing. Relevance is an attitude. Humour essential. View all posts by VJ

Yes emotional pain is held deeply and so affects everyone, unless, of course it is dealt with, but the most difficult is the blaming.

  To be cliché, it’s a bit like the proverbial onion. Deal with some of it, think you’ve moved on, then find yourself face to face with another layer. Thanks Paul. Appreciate your words.
