At Last a Safe and Loving Home
My heart never wants to roam
Too far from this loving home
I have finally created
Too long I've patiently waited
For caring voices, soft and low
Not angry words that harshly flow
Loving arms for holding tight
Making everything alright
Not the hands that slapped and hit
In an angry raging fit
Ears to listen when your down
When problems are leading you down
A path of self destruction
I have love to do construction
Not ears that ignore your cries
Saying it's a bunch of lies
Eyes seeing the real you
And all your beauty so true
Deep inside that can now show
As my love towards you will grow
Not the eyes that only saw
Ugliness and so much more
That I was called every day
My self esteem fading away
The people in my life right now
Will never have to wonder how
I love them, there's now way
They are told this everyday
The love for my children/hubby
Will shine so big and sparkly
Never burning out it will
Be there at full blast to fill
Them with a sense of love so true
My devotion will shine through
So they never feel the
Pain that childhood brought me
