My Choice
By Wiccad
Born a jehovahs witness
Brought up in this way
Unable to make
my own choices
No birthday celebrations
No christmas presents
No normal kid fun
My mother taken in by them
The cult
that brain washed
Told her I was wicked
Childhood was disturbed
Unable to fit with classmates
Prosecuted for mothers beliefs
My father
My sanctuary
My mentor
Crossed over
Taken too soon,extinguished
Torn from my life
Daddy will
never again
Call me his princess
Tell me how proud he was
Accepted me for who I was
Being different from others
I
was always a blessing to him
Age and acceptance
Have shown
me my path
A Wicca at heart, not wicked
To do what I will
And harm none
Is what he would want me to be
A better
father there will never be
Love you daddy
Miss you daddy
See you on the other side.............

Such a heartfelt tribute. I also agree with one's right to choose their own religion rather than to be bred into it... Keep writing and honing your craft. Good read. :)
