Conquering the Abuse, A Fathers Legacy!

You fought and fought forever

as a child torn apart

the life that you were given

was so difficult at the start

you overcame the challenge

and the obstacles in your way

you conquered the abuser

and those who hurt you everyday

you swallowed all the poison

and hid the pain within

you created your own family

and showed us how to win

so thank you for the lessons

and the legacy left behind

you broke the abusers cycle

so the light upon us shines

now your children and their children

have a life to call their own

for none of us will suffer

the pain that you have known

the gift that you have given

to those you leave behind

a gift of live and happiness

you’ve left for us to find
