Stories Untold

From a child’s heart who has witnessed too much pain
Of parents whose actions turned a home insane
Deep into a past taken from behind a locked door
Brought to light from this person’s very core

Of too much blood splashed upon the walls
Children running screaming up and down the halls
Hiding keeping safe in dark places
Of hurt and pain shown in all it’s faces

From a young girl given in marriage to a man
Not yet reached the age of being a woman
Of being raped upon her wedding night
Too small to put up much of a fight

A child having a child whose heart she loves
Enduring by strength given to her from above
Husband sharing her with others was the greater sin
Being cast aside because 18 was too old for him

From single mother’s heart trying to provide for her child
At times she lost herself and became a little wild
Looking ever searching for a man who really cared
That with someone she could give her heart and share

Another child God brought into her home
Still without husband they were raised alone
Never crying she shed no healing tears
Alone the struggle continued many years

From a woman’s life the story stayed long untold
Until turning to God she loved entering his fold
Of light and truth poured out to her from Him
Of forgiveness sent to wash away all sin

A woman’s story still not all told yet
For blessings still to come that she will get
Eternal love she now has from above
Yet a heart in search of a man who can love

So now this story untold I give to you
From a locked door now open to your view

This is rather thought provoking. It is a quote I should have conspired long ago

A write riddled with pain. A story too often lived and too seldom told. Amazing what the human spirit endures...and yet it does.

Thank you, everyone, for your heartfelt responses....sometimes reality drives the dreams from my words and reminds me what life has taught me. I wonder how often we really see the person behind the words they write. I learned to love the hard way and though it was painful it was the best lesson I could have had. **big hugs**

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.
