'who' Was the Whisper
who are you was the question whispered-
so, I have pondered that
I am a girl who has traveled a tangled path
with many dips and turns and twists along the way
a labyrinth journey it has been
and I have seen the bottom of dark pits
had to crawl back up to the top
and it was God's hand that helped
each time . . .
as I stood tall and began anew-
oh, now my pen drips blood
as I write of my sadness with tears
but dear reader . . .
these tears of sorrow-
do not mean that I am weak
for I have inside of me an unfathomable strength
my journey has brought me to
a place of tranquility and serenity and peace . . .
and I feel that to reach paradise on earth
one must have suffered in their life -
