Little darlin hold your head up Don't let his memory make you cry It's all over now Time to tell the past good-bye I'm sorry he broke your self-esteem And ripped your life in two Made painful scars run deep~ Inside the heart of you He had no right to hit you Or say the things he did He had no right to abuse you You were still "just a kid" I know he hurt you But now you're with somebody new Your husband would never Lay a mean hand on you It was only a dream last night A sad reminder in your mind Your heart is safe in love dear girl Leave the past behind -SEA- * this isn't about child abuse, it's about Me as I am now, strong and "grown up" comforting the "me" of 10 years ago who married young and got beat and abused in all ways.- Susan [This message has been edited by SEA (edited 10-24-2000).] |

SEA... this is so touching how you've woven a poem with profound meaning reflecting such innocence... The last verse says it all... "LEAVE THE PAST BEHIND" Gently written my friend and I am glad I got to peak at it  Coco |

SEA, As long as you are there to support her, she will be fine. There are cowards out there, anyone that hits a child in anger or hatred is worthless to society. Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love (Daniel J D) |

This is such a tender and heartfelt verse SEA. It's so difficult when we move on and try to forget the past, and yet the strangest things can come back as reminders, be they in dreams or other. Perhaps they come to remind us of how lucky we "now" are? I like to think so ... beautiful writing SEA, and hugs to you! Best wishes, /Kit |

What a poignant cry and how wonderful the thought that's left....put the past behind... Dreams, even nightmares, have a way of bringing out thoughts that we may need to share; it's wonderful therapy....thanks for sharing this Peppermint Life is a Wheel |

I am so glad that all of this is past you now. Excellent write from you as always...now go give that sweet husband of yours a great big kiss for "just because". Nice to know that you are so happy now, you deserve to be. |

I know that I must do that too, and reading all the heartbreaking story's that are told inhere, it bring me closer to that last line. Only must find the strength to step over the treshold. and its great to see how you are become stronger now and surround with a great love. ((warm Huggs)...Charisma |

Susan, A heartwrenching piece that brought tears to my eyes. The mind can heal, but the heart remembers. We grow and change and the scars heal slowly. Writing and telling about it always benefit in many ways This is an eye opener to those of us who were not abused Hugs Liz |
