A Letter Never Sent Poem by Brian Kilpatrick

You took a young boy
And turned him into a young man
I am sorry for the pain I caused you
I thank you for the love we shared
You had a vision I had none
What we had once
Is now long done
And through the looking glass
I see you on the run
You took the pain and abuse
That you experienced as a child
And you moved on
You heard the message
And turned it into hope
And you took action
Once you started
You did not stop
You reach out your hand
And you do not wash it off
You share his hope
You live his dream
You are his love

I thank God for you
And the time we shared
I am so proud of you
And what you have done
