A STORY FROM OLDEN DAYS GONE BY NOW

A Letter to A Crazy Father
===========================

I thought you were crazy when you would spank me with an
extension cord.

I thought you were crazy when you would put me on punishment.

I thought you were crazy when I could not do or say certain
things.

I thought you were crazy when I could not go certain places with
certain people.

I really thought you were crazy when I could not talk to girls
at a certain age.

Because of your craziness
I have not be in a jail cell.

Because of your craziness
I don't have five kids by four different women.

Because of your craziness
I am in college and I am making a positive name for myself.

Because of your craziness
I have not been shot by gang members or been shot at by being in
the wrong place at the wrong time.

The only crazy thing would have been,
not doing what you have done.

Thank you for being my crazy father.

Love,
Cullen
