During dinner tonight I brought up the topic of poetry, and to my surprise I found out my dad has written a poem. My dad wrote the poem when he was working to stop domestic violence and abuse against women.
Seeking Sunshine
Darkness, it enveloped her world~ ~ Her soul, Her whole being~ ~ Smothering her with relentless force.
She longed for the sunshine, the kiss of the summer breeze~ ~ She sought love, respect, and most of all peace.
Help me, her eyes pleaded with mine~ ~ Calling me to action~ ~ To help break the cycle~ ~ To end the darkness of abuse.
-Jeffrey Gulley
Excellent poetry dad!
