Sweet Child

Inspired by Glen Hughes song - Child in time Entry for Glen Hughes Contest Sweet Child, you saw things you shouldn't have had to see Guns, knives, blood and so much more The screaming, the silence, no safe people around You were blessed with human angels, light in all the darkness Guiding you through the terror, nightmares and anxiety You found your safe places outside, where no one harmed you Where nature took its course and provided you peace Your mind allowed you to detach, long enough to survive The pain, the loss, the harsh reality of evil You found your way and here you are, shining Giving, thriving, creating, grateful for each moment All in your castle of a new life, that only you could build Heidi Sands 10/11/24 Placed 10th

A contrast between the wars erupting these days and a hope of finding angelic bliss.

Dear Heidi, I am a victim of childhood abuse who has seen a lot. I could very much relate to your poem. I know God has protected me and guided my path. Autumn Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel
