Women Wrapped In Chains

Each link a tear drop dripping down her face
Wrapped around her thought’s weighting within
Memories of torture and pain through the years
Thought’s and memories wanting them to disappear
Four boy’s also wrapped in chains unable to escape
Sleepless night’s of fear and fright alone and ashamed
No escaping theses chains of thought’s and hope
That will never disappear

Dedicated To: My Mother

I assume this a a portrait of the, clearly, strong woman you are speaking of. A lovely and heartbreaking tribute!
