written last year, another in my series of poetry about Child abuse.
"Words Can Be Very Uplifting"
by Amber "V" Moonstone
1/19/06
There was this little girl so sad,
Always thinking she was bad.
They told her she must be good;
and she always said she would.
She tried so hard everyday,
But always something bad to her dismay!
Then one day, she read a poem:
about a road not taken,
and with those words not forsaken.
She began a journey of writing her feelings,
and she was able to use those dealings,
as a subject of her word,
so many years later to be heard.
She is a grown woman with a voice,
and always with a choice,
she writes so many poems with intent,
to spread joy and happiness, never, repent.
Peace, love, and light,
Has become her new flight,
to find a place of heaven on earth,
and always remembering her worth!
Author's Notes: Self-esteem is such a fragile part of everyone's life. I can attest first hand, how being raised can either boost or destroy ones self-esteem. I had a rough childhood, but it made me the strong person I am today. Do NOT let anyone destroy your self-esteem. Always, always, love and honor yourself.
Powerful Message on child abused
I prayed that many will be encouraged
by your words on this poem you shared
with us Today!
Brilliant Write!!

Dynamic verse with such a great message and a great ending comment about self esteem that is one of my greatest weaknessess. I want to stive to be a poet, I may have climbed a hill but the mountain faces me. I struggle every day upon the dream to write that one good poem.
Love this it made me think, sweet Angel blessings.
Then one day, she read a poem:
Amber--What every writer wants to hear. That their poems made a difference in even one person's life.
Keep writing. Keep touching. Your words are powerful and beautiful.
Thank you for that.

Amber, this is a splendid poem with encouragement for a positive outlook and maintaining self-esteem which is key if we want to live a life free of guilt and self remorse! Excellent, message and advice! Thank you,for sharing!
Indeed, Amber, words can be very uplifting, or tear one down...I know. Still living with the aftermath of being told I was worthless and would never amount to anything...very nice to hear, eh? NOT. Any wonder I feel like a failure?
(((HUGS))) and love, Karla. :(

A child when grown can always remember the abuse
Whether physical or mental.
One can over come, but the memory is always there.
Thanks for your wisdom Amber.
Stay safe..

Your poem is lovely, and your author's note has a wonderful message. I truly believe that self-esteem is built in the home and nurtured by good teachers and worthy people in society.
The problem is that parents aren't born with ready knowledge on how to plant self-esteem in their child/ren's heads. I for one have always thought there should be mandatory classes on child-rearing for every parent to be. I know that isn't going to happen, so the more literature there is out there--such as your poem and message--that parents might read will hopefully benefit someone.
