This did not write the " in my arms" poem. If she is indeed 17 years of age I read this poem at least 40 years before she was born. Also, I don't believe she knows aught of the reality and the horrors of heroin addiction.
i’ve known that home for a very long time too and it is written anonymously
'Till Death do us Part was NOT written by Cathlene Stahl. I found the poem on a table in the lobby of Los Angeles County Jail about 40 years ago while visiting the son of a friend. I asked one of the guards where it came from and he explained that one of the inmates had written it. I published it in my publication in about 1980 as Author Unknown.
Catherine Stahl you are taking credit for a poem you did not write. I have had this poem in my collection of poetry since 1972. It was singned, 'ANONYMOUS AUTHOR'. Obviously, whomever wrote this, lived it! Stop taking credit away from the original author of, 'TIL DEATH DUE US PART
