Wooden Keys

Counselors, psychiatrist, friends and family have often asked me, "How did you survive?" The answer I always give is; "By the Grace of God." I didn't become a manipulative child molester, psychopath or prostitute. I didn't become a murderer or thief, and I didn't lie to get what I wanted or needed to keep getting up each morning. Neither did I moan, assign punishment through the courts, or believe I was entitled retribution or special treatment for all that I have endured. I don't believe any of that would have made right what was wrong. I had many trials and tribulations throughout my life-twelve years of my fifty-two years of living no one should ever be forced to lived. This is a book of healing through poetry.
