"That Man"
That man you condemn has a child and a wife
A Mum and a Dad who has given him life!
What would you do if this happened to yours?
Deny all your love and close all the doors?
Do you honestly think I'd sink to a level
And just turn my back and deem him a devil?
Yes! He's done wrong and is serving his time
And No! I do not agree with his crime.
'That woman' you point at, yes it is me
I was born with a name, as I'm human you see!
I'm innocent! just in case you've forgot
And love him whether you like it or not!
I've had the abuse, the comments and more
It's nothing I haven't heard all before
I mean no offense when I say this to you
I'm a victim as well- A forgotten one too.

"Bars"
Dear Lord, with a heavy heart I
get down on my knees to pray-
You know how much I miss my son
since he went away.
He has lost his freedom, Lord, for
the things that he has done-
But he's still my shining star,
He's still my loving son.
When the darkness comes and invades
his soul at night-
And when the bars are closed behind
him an locked up tight-
Send an angel to him , Lord,
Let him know she's there.
Oh Lord, please hear my cry- hear
this Mothers prayer.
Oh Lord, how I miss him...for he's
still my little boy-
Outside in his sandbox playing with
a tinker toy-
He's still the child I tucked in at
nite and read stories too-
He's still the teenager that took care
of me when I had the flu.
Dear Lord , have your angel protect him
through the nite-
And let her still be with him come
the morning light.
I'm giving you my son Lord, mold him
with your care-
Let him know that in his heart-
always there!

"Inside my Cell"
Inside a prison cell
I sat there all alone.
No where to go,
Not even a home.
My heart cried out
In that tiny cell,
I told Jesus; this is living hell.
I got down on the floor,
Prayed out to the Lord,
I told Jesus I cannot take this anymore.
He said my child, confess your sins.
I'll forgive you and take you to the eternal end.
My life has changed now by His grace,
I know that Jesus saved me a place.
Now I have a home;
That I did not have before,
It was Jesus who knocked on my cell door

"Court Room Experience"
As I sat there in the court room waiting for you to enter...
I looked around the room...and then I looked above...
I said one last prayer that I hoped God would hear...
and then then you entered the the room...
and we exhanged looks..and suddenly I became numb...
unable to breath...and I said to God...please help me...
the Judge begain to speak..my heart started racing..
I felt as though for the first time in my life I was going to die...
hearing the words coming out of that man sitting up there in that silk robe..
I said to myself..that is not my son's maker...who the hell is he to judge...
when it was all said and done...you turned around & looked at me
with the saddest eyes I've ever seen...they took you away &
it was time for me to leave..I got up and left the room and
pain begin to worsen as I walked to the door...
I stepped outside & fell to the floor..I prayed again to God for strength
to help me get up..my knees weak..I could barely walk..I knew I had to go on..
but I had no idea how..I was lost in a moment of great pain & sorrow...
God willing I made it home....all the while my phone was ringing...
I didn't answer...I had nothing to say...I was dead inside...
I laid there and cried & keep ask God why...the answers never came...
night fall did...the day the was done..the decision was made...
nothing I could do..but just continue to pray..today was the day baby boy...
that we both so long had dreaded...but your also not just my son...
you are God's son too...always know that..he now has you in his care..
and he assured me you are gonna be just fine my baby boy...
I love you always no matter what my son...Love Mom...XOXOXO
