Tesslynn's Eyes

When you look in Tesslynn’s eyes there’s a story to be told of a little child who’ll never have the chance to grow old. Tesslynn’s eyes tell a story of a little child abused, neglected and molested, battered, beaten, bruised. Tesslynn’s eyes express the wishes of every little child but in her face the terror of innocence defiled. Jesse told her if she cried no one would even care so all that she could do was sit on the couch and stare. Chorus Tesslynn's eyes, Tesslynn's eyes, do you see what I see when you look in Tesslynn's eyes? Tesslynn's eyes, Tesslynn's eyes the soul of every child in Tesslynn's eyes. In Tesslynn's eyes desperation, in her eyes so much pain, in her eyes a plea for mercy said in silence and in vain. No one cared about this child. No one knew about her hell, So the angels came to free her and my mission is to tell. Repeat Chorus

I am so glad the angels came to free her; I see children who have such pain in their eyes when they reach kindergarten, I can barely go on. It is horrible what abuse does to a child. Glad to see this one.We need to keep telling the tale.

Excellent poem. Many do become greater than their past abuses. Some do not. In a sense, all of us are a part of the walking wounded. We do the best we can. But God is the healer...of these pains..and good friends who understand and appreciate the beauty in each of us. Thank you Panagiota. xoxo
