GARY

CLF Member, incarcerated in SC

To Whom It May Concern

Last picked for softball

first to be blamed

taunted and jeered at

hiding in shame

To Whom It May Concern

Last born child of eight

awkward and confused

never feeling love

knowing only feeling abused

To Whom It May Concern

Told there’s no place for me

I would never fit in

God’s love is not for you!

no way to win

To Whom It May Concern

Rejected and ashamed

life as dark as night

love finally parted the clouds

at last I saw the light

To Whom It May Concern

I found a place at Christ’s table

there really is room for me

I have emerged from the abyss of despair

and at long last I am free
