A Man In NeedComing home drunk at night, I have no escape from your verbal abuses, dominant anger, and rape. You say that you're sorry, I believe that you'll change while our relationship becomes even more estranged. You can't see the tears I cry and the scars I bleed, Perhaps you don't realize... There's a man in need. Restraining your presence from out of our lives there isn't a day when the police don't arrive. Our children watch inside as you put up a fuss, they ask me always, "Why can't you live here with us?" They do not understand the pain our lives have to lead, They can't comprehend... There's a man in need. Many years have passed since you left us alone as your memory fades, our children have grown. I raised them up in faith so they too would believe in God's miracle of life and a new life received. They pray for you daily that you will be freed and come to understand... There's a man in need. -Robert E. Michaud Jr.- [This message has been edited by Lighthousebob (edited 01-16-2001).] |

My friend........you truely know how to drop the ink onto the page to touch the reader. There is so much wisdom and unfortunately so much truth for many of us in this piece that I know it will have an impact to all who read it. Superb just doesn't seem to cut it in describing this one. I know that I am finding peace finally by turning over my burdens to the Lord and I know that whether I can feel it right away or not...he is there to pick me up when I stumble. Thank you for this lovely piece my friend. |
