Poem
For Laura She suffered in silence from the years of abuse If not for the violence she felt of no use She denied that her soul was addicted to pain Inside she felt cold so her blue eyes would rain She had beautiful dreams somewhere in her youth Of being a queen then she discovered the truth That love can go wrong if left up to a man It will not be strong if it’s not part of God’s plan Hope painted a picture with colors of laughter Of missus and mister happily ever after When he used to kiss her it encouraged her faith The times he would hit her she didn’t feel safe Through all the trouble she had time to conceive Despite the struggle she just couldn’t leave She knew in her heart things would only get worse She accepted the dark blaming God for the curse If not for her kids she’d give it all back Thinking time won’t forgive what’s been done in the past I wish I knew her before she was broken by man To give these words to her so she’d understand That a woman’s heart has one unique chance She must use all her smarts when choosing a man Not all of us can wear shiny armor Some men you can’t trust they’d only harm her But not to give up time can be a friend You may have the Lord’s luck the next corner you bend There is time for love you are still that queen Ask the Father above and you’ll see what I mean The beauty with in you will never fade God has always been with you; He’s never delayed I must remind you; you are His greatest gift Don’t look behind and the pain won’t exist
