When Enough Is ENOUGH ღ KKD ღ

A Poem by Donna DeLong Matthews aka Gold Pen Ghost



When Enough is ENOUGH
 
With those who refuse to listen
there are lessons to be learned
Life's road can be quite rough
with it's many twists and turns

When a child takes an adult stance
The harsh realities will emerge
No lies or half truths will be given
That has never been my urge

When you enter what is not your concern
and what you have is not all the facts
Even then you will be responsible
for your irresponsible acts.

With the pack of Dogs gathered
The Drama Queen took the stage
Not once was there expressed concern
for the babe under age

My only thought
was of concern for him
Not about the Queen
or the pack that jumped in

When one tells you "Enough"
be mindful of crossing that line
Knowing when to back away
for approaching at a later time.

Oh my little precious one
you have so much to learn
but with present influence
that wish will only burn

You've shut me out
That you will have to answer for
Even not knowing the truths
will not even the score.

You claim such maturity
Oh I see much growing you need
I have given up hope
No longer will I plead

My moral responsibility
was put to the test
I did what I felt I must
I did what I thought best.

Many nights of soul searching
of what took place back then
Not a deed would I change
I'd do it All Over Again...

I'll Do It All Over Again


ღ God ask me how long
I planned on keeping you in my life.
I smiled and said...

How do I choose between always and forever...ღ
