In response to Fandango’s
FOWC with FANDANGO –
Prompt Word … IMPISH

Rough beginnings first trimester
tiny babe nearly lost from the womb
Unseen fighter with his mother
not willing to relinquish life

First birthday what a party
friends and aunts filled the room
Little man in his walker
pinched his fingers party’s over

Five years old first day of school
hops on the bus a big boy now
Sister walks beside her brother
loving helping the best of friends

Changes happen as is the way
school and friends can often sway
Innocent minds so easily corrupted
sometimes they are led astray

Boy is grown into a man
leaves his home to forge his path
Decides his life was not so grand
turns his back on mom and sis

Estranged now for many years
confusion reigns wondering why
How I miss my impish boy
hope to see him before I go away
