A tale of healing and survival

 

I see you, young blossom
Barley here five years
I feel you, little flower
I can feel your tears
 
Left alone to bear
The terror of him
To pull and tear
And to use at his whim
 
A torrent does blow
And your tender petals do bow
No shelter from the big oak to shield
No mommy comes to hide and heal
 
But take courage, tiny one
For yes, you are bruised
And once your tenderness was used
 
But you will bloom and stay
And feel the sun’s warm rays
And you will find peace
 In all your days
 
You will find joy , and learn to give
For, you live, little flower
Today, yea,  you live!

Another well done prayer of hope for the abused and the battered, no children should have to live that way but it is an I know that is reality. Very good style here.
