Millicent Pieters Poet Rhyme

Courage

You gave her courage to stand on her own
Though through the years things were tough
You gave her strength, you gave her enough
Look at me now, I'm all grown

We had no house to call our own
Moved from here to there
Always asked for a room to spare
But what we found, she made a home

Early morning, come rain or shine
She’d go to work for our table
She did what she could always willing and able
On her knees asking for a sign

Our stay with others was never long
No one wanted my tiny hands all around
Screaming and throwing myself on the ground
But she just smiled and moved along

Yes the courage that You gave her
Led us to our own house and home
Your grace truly has shown
And Your mercy saved her

Emile Pinet June 9, 2015 at 11:27 AM The imagery of this piece is well suited to the emotions solicited from the author...starting with a sullen bleak look that blossoms into the vibrant pulse and energetic feel of freedom and hope. Your style is dramatic and conveys feelings well. Emile. #7 Millicent Pieters June 10, 2015 at 12:45 AM Emile, your kind words overwhelm me. Thank you so much. I'm looking forward to reading your work as well :-)
