Cycle Broken

A child so alone Loud ranting The thunder rumbles. Chaos The cycle continues. The storms that rage through the young girl's ears Becomes the rage that storms through her heart. A child of her own Quiet prayers He calms the storm. Peace The cycle broken.

Yes, Arlene. I have seen this happen with many young girls. A new life to have to take care of is all that some girls need to turn there life around. Responsibility is a gift to many. and this is the greatest of the all. Thank you so much for sharing.... Robert
