Black Beauty

She's sewn back together
completely up tight
emotions trapped inside her
deep and out of sight

She put a pad lock on 
and threw away the key
her feelings are all gone
can't you see

She's so full of fear
expectations are running high
such a poor little dear
so afraid she might die

Courage and faith, Lizzy Love. My mother had cancer surgery in her fifties, and lived to age 93. The survival rate today is much greater than it was in her day! God is still in control, and He has you in the palm of his hand.

This poem flirts with the dark side and is full of emotions that frighten and explore our fears. Emile.
