Abuse

She had all the battle scars Of a soldier at war She was neglected and abused Abandoned and refused Unwanted and unloved She wished for the wings of a dove So she could fly far away From her troubles today To escape from the pain From the stress and the strain With tears in her eyes She slept under starry skies Out in the cold With no one to hold Unable to cope She had lost all hope

Joesph, this is a very touching subject. Many will read this and relate to this kind of abuse or other forms of abuse. God, bless us all, especially the one's who found the strength in knowing we are not alone..... Congratulations, in Susan's "ABUSE" contest... Goodnight **PD

Hi Joseph, :-) I'm taking this moment to wish you an early Happy Mother's day. Just in case, I can't hang around the soup past Saturday Night. May you enjoy all the blessings a mother engraves in our hearts. About your poem: sad, and very sad... LINDA
