Childhood code

don’t snitch, increases the load.

An adult who understands

that’s how hate lands

its final blow.

A child in fear

their harsh words near

know there is a way though

talking to someone who loves you

will keep them safe.

I am a fifty something mother of two grown up children, and one beautiful grandchild. I have been married for nearly thirty-four years. My first book was published ten years ago. I wrote my book Sticks and Stones because of my experience of being bullied at school.
