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.

Packed with love and many hugs.
