Words Of Steel
              (Scars That Won’t Heal)

   They hit you like a fist
And they hurt the worst
The words of an alcoholic father
He was able to sling them in a burst

They cut like a knife
And leave a deep long lasting scar
I never understood his hate
And I wish I could seal the pain in a jar

He passed in ninety nine
And I’m over forty now
But those words always seem
To come back and hunt me somehow

Out of nowhere I see his angry face
And I hear those words of steel
That’s when one realizes that he’s
Been left with scars that won’t heal

From my book New Angel
I’m over fifty now and still I
Hear those words of steel
But Jesus is healing the scars
That I thought would never heal
I wrote I’ve been to Hell Years Later
As a sequel to this poem.
God Bless!!!
