Sometimes life is very hard and unkind. But children realize you are unique, one of a kind. Be strong....... Be your own person. Find the beauty in life....Have faith. and you will find peaceful tranquility. Poor Little Child Poor little child hiding in the darkened closet- Silent tears so no one will hear Parents spitting fire with angry words These words spilling down the highway of life like hot molten lava. Driving down a darkened highway- Anger, screaming vile obscenities Poor little child in the back seat Wanting life’s horrors to be silent Crying in fear. Poor little child in the darkened closet- Silent tears so no one will hear Growing up in a small apartment Rage filling the small rooms Objects flying Poor little child running in fear Gentle arms enfolding her shaking body Come here baby Everything will be alright Come here let me dry those pretty little brown eyes. Poor little child in the darkened closet- Silent tears so no one will hear Still as the child grows into a woman of today She sees the beauty around her. At times when someone around her raises words in anger. She relives the pain of anxiety- The fear of many yesterdays of old Wishing to hide so no one will notice the silent tears. But today this woman lives a life of tranquility- Walking about her garden Noticing all the life that is hidden in this place of peace. So all you children who have grown up in a family of pain. You may even be one who hides in a darkened closet. Do not hide babies Read my words for I have lived this life I still feel love Know that you can find in life peaceful tranquility. Bonnie J.

Bon Bon, I think if you copy the text to your word processor, you can use the word processors "font" facility to change the font. Then you would remove the old post, and paste in the new one. Many people have already read this fine post, and liked it. For that reason, I don't think you should take the trouble to change it. You might keep it in mind for your next post to the site to uses a darker colored font. The font associated with the site usually works very well. Sorry I can't be of more help to you on this.
