Give back her daughter child "but my dove, my perfect one, is unique, the only daughter of her mother, the favorite of the one who bore her. The maidens saw her and called her blessed; the queens and concubines praised her." NIV Song of Solomon 6:9 Is there a stronger bond than mother, child? A mother's flesh and blood is always bound How can a man decide to rip apart so wild And take her babe away from mother's ground. Such cruel carnage by a judge of cloth Is worse than any evil I can state For daughters need a mother's breast so soft To grow complete to open woman's gate. There is no way a man can raise a girl God made her jewels in a special way And oft temptation to abuse a pearl Results in damage far beyond man's say. But in this land of cruel men we find That men for selfish reasons make the law And just ignore God's way that woman bind To rip apart and make a women fall. O God I pray that you will help her soon Women, come forth! For it is now high noon. Make men give back her daughter child.

Good use of the iambic meter and quite a thought provoking poem from a very frank and wise Biblical passage. Bart |

Your voice is heard, and as always it bears wisdom YOU as I’ve mentioned maybe one or twice are an absolutely fabulous writer. The power of these words are outstanding,. Your use of line, rhyme and form is exquisite and I utterly utterly love this. Very very good writing As always Mushy    To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace Luke 2:79 |

Oh, Newell, I am just still in absolute awe over this poem of me and my baby girl. You said it all right, she needs with her Mama, and once this custody battle is over, I am will be waiting with open arms and once I hold her I will never let go. Though, her time is equal between her Father and I, I feel so alone because she is my life, along with my son. He is home, and waiting for his big sister to be with us so we can be a family again. God only knows I am not the same and never will be until I can close my eyes with her at my side. This poem said everything my heart couldn't. Sometimes when things are so sad, it's hard to find the words, but you read my heart as you always do. Thank you for keeping us in your prayers and please continue to pray that she closes her eyes at night and is gently soothed in her tears longing for me. I hope the angels are sitting along her bedside since I can not be there. Thank you, Newell, for this write. It's really touched me. Bump!Sauni @~~~>~~ |
