Born in sin,
craving grace,
a mother’s love,
a father’s cry.

His anger bright,
baby five,
wailing wonders,
through stinging eyes.

Broken open,
never shut,
beyond tears,
left to die.

Seventeen,
drowning fast,
memories play,
drunk in game.

Working up,
successful sight,
never guess,
gone from plight.

Moving slow,
nearing end,
life of grace,
love, and kin.
