You told me today of your pain
told me a story of a little girl
I heard your voice quivering but
thought it was just third party news

Such details you gave me
what happened and where
tears fell from my eyes
as I was one with the pain

I questioned your research
kept wanting to know more
Then a look in your eyes
told me this was of you

Suddenly I was one with you
sharing the tears and pain
realizing the strength you had
to even let me know

God Bless you and keep you
a woman of strength and pride
Such courage and boldness
make this your story to tell

Well penned. You poured a lot of emotion into this. Makes it personal. Keep it up Kristie.

Compassion poured from these words, and beautiful they are. Lovely words with a tinge of sadness and then an outcome of strength to move forward.

Thanks, you all are too kind.  If only someone didn't experience the pain for me to write this.

I was in one of my law classes this morning listening to presentations on different areas of the law.  A girl about 18 started talking about a child rape case.  By the end of her presentation we all were in tears.  The last sentence she spoke was "This was me".  Well, what courage that must have taken for her to say that, and needless to say, the tears just came faster...

Emotional...you bet.
