In jail you have a long trail Ahead of you hoping to get on the train Of miracle from God above Wishing for His love To give you one more chance At life where you can dance The perfect step of a gentleman And you can't wait when It will happen Out of the playpen You will fend for yourself Never going back on the shelf Like a book waiting to be read Coming alive eating your bread A free man |

Highly descriptive. Poetically written. "I am not now that which I have been." |

Thank You Marge, Tier and Julian Quite a few of my son's friends are spending time in jail i knew them when they were younger and it is hard for me to see them in there and at the end of the month i will find out if my own son will end in the slammer. I do realize it is for their good because they do not seem to want to change their ways of dangerous behavior, driving drunk. |

This is a beautiful but heart wrenching poem...and being from La. I know just how common it (Drunk driving) is (and no people, I don't have a license) I don't know what the solution is, we live in this culture that literally GIVES AWAY booze and charges DOUBLE for water--I have often looked around at the many festivals and thought, "now how do they expect all of these people to get home?" Designated driver WILL work, if ya can find someone willing to be designated. I could go on about this forever, as ya can see, but I'll just close that I loved this thought provoking piece and my prayers are with you and your loved ones. |

Hi Sweetie, You have alot of feelings raped up in this one, I know because my son not only has done the same and is waiting for judgement but has taken the road of drugs and right now I am at a loss as to what do to, I send you my love and prayers, Love, Cerenity "God doesn't have to be reminded that we exist. |
