Unanswered Prayer

You think your life is going just fine. No headaches, no heartaches just great peace of mind. Then out of the blue whispers abound "He's out of prison He's back in town. It took a few days before I was told. No one believed he could be that bold. Ten years have gone by since that horrible night. The wounds he inflicted had taken my sight. He came out of nowhere the next think I knew I could taste my own blood from the punches he threw. He took my money my jewelry and phone. I prayed to God he would leave me alone. My prayers went unanswered as he had his way he got up, started laughing and just walked away. No way to call home I laid there and cried and this time I prayed "Just let me die" I was getting so weak, I had lost so much blood but I made it to the road covered in mud. Someone would find me so I gave into the hurt, closed my eyes and passed out in the dirt. When I came to the truth held no lies. My innocence stolen and so were my eyes. I was only 18 a life without sight. I didn't deserve this it just wasn't right. I wa able to help them I'd seen more than my share and I had enough sense to grab some of is hair. All he received for killing my soul was 10 years in prison and lifetime parole. That night will stay with me the rest of my life a devoted mother and loving wife. Although I can't see him I feel his love and I still pray each night to the good Lord above. I thank him each night for denying my prayer because if he had my son wouldn't be here.
