Rovin' Son

Brooky

Time for a new song… written for my eldest boy.

Anyone who has followed me these last few years knows my story. But in brief, I escaped from a religious Cult, after being enamoured with it for 20 years…

In the process though, I lost my wife, and all of my 5 children (because our Cult absolutely forbids women to be with men who are not in the “Fold”) …

However, my eldest son, at only 12 years of age - and after being denied access to me for months on end - finally called me on one of his mate’s phones to say, “Dad… she hasn’t let me see you in months, and I can see that she never will again, if she has her way…

Please, can you come and get me?”

It broke my heart… whilst simultaneously healing it…

But … I needed to be sure that this was HIS decision (because people are more likely to stick to their convictions, when they make decisions for themselves!), so I waited one more week…

And sure enough, one week later he called me again, and said, “I’m ready Dad! I’ve packed my stuff and stashed it in my school locker… come and get me!”

It’s now been 5 years… and whilst I haven’t seen 4 of my 5 child in 3 years now… I have my eldest lad, and he’s stronger, healthier and happier than ever!

As such, I wrote this song for him.

My dearly beloved boy… thank you, for saving me.

And truly, I’ll love you, till the day that I die.
