What's It All About She was only 3 when it came to be just a child eager to play she endured the pain in the name of a game Now it's dark, she is older now sleep in the closet, it's quiet there she's only 10... still can't comprehend Time has passed that nightmare died she kept it hid, somewhere inside ashamed to tell, tears all dried heavens child now can smile whats it all about?

its about pain and loss... about things taken away ... its about innocence interrupted ... living with someone elses sins ... hopefully in time ... its about healing and acceptance ... forgivness and understanding ... flying free ... this is how i interpretated this soft spoken poem of questions we ask when something is to hard to accept .. sorry if i read it wrong .. I've asked these same questions take care jm |

It took me a while to respond to this, I guess that's how you know you got the right feelings across in your poetry, you hit alot of nerves with this and it touched me deeply. I don't know if this was a personal story of someone you know or one that you were able to write from without seeing it first hand but either way it was a very powerful poem, you did a great job in writing it. I can only echo the response with Janet Marie as to the reasons why. [This message has been edited by Tears_of_Grace (edited 10-02-2000).] |

Even the memories of 3 years old can stay and trouble - they will never leave - but we can rise above them - finding warmth in today's sunshine ~You have to have a dream so you can get up in the morning. ~ Billy Wilder |

yes my friend, I do believe that JM nailed it and the loss of innocense can never be replaced but the healing can come. I truely hope that this is not in any way from your true to life experience. |

Janet- It is about pain and loss and somewhere in there about healing too. Tears of grace- I don't know what I can say to this except the reasons why are inside many. Wildred- Yes the hope is in today, we can't undo yesterday. Rose- Thank you for reading and responding I hope more than anything I have shown just a touch of hope and healing. Mark- I don't quite know what to say. Was that child me? Yes. Any understanding as to why? No. God has a way of healing the wounds even though there can be scars. Healing comes from forgiveness. Heavens child can now smile.  |
