Poem Title:
Poem
She endured trauma as a child, that shut down her mind Without safe adults, there was no security to find She played outside and pretended to run away She prayed and God answered, he heard what she had to say She learned about good and evil, at an early age When her soul with a facade, became stuck in a cage She was lucky to have natural talents to help her survive God granted her what was needed to stay alive She was given strength to endure things, beyond words can say When she was older, it was time for her to speak and find her way She investigated the past, fighting to stop others from being hurt She learned to watch her back, be streetwise while on alert After 14 years, justice failed with deep corruption, that started back then Finding the closure she wanted was no longer a matter of when Family outcasted her, while more losses and deaths came about The silence of the past had turned into a powerful shout How did she make it through such painstaking times? She created in many ways including things like these rhymes She was granted many good things through so many years Friends who care, pets who love, much comfort that erased fears She yearns to love and give to all who may have pain She will offer to give the sun to anyone, after the rain I say all this because there is hope in life, through good and bad - smiles do return from the depths of being sad - Heidi Sands 12/22/33
