Silent Prayer

A child who finds faith and strength. Completed 2012.

Young siblings and stolen virtues

Affection smothered with filth and fist

No such thing should one ever know

Nor the bruises on your wrist

Shackles of indignation slaving purity

That unseen line from divine

His eyes choke away the child inside

Over hoarse voices, hear mine

Subtle warmth will quietly carry you

All through the fight and fright

Take my hand, we'll hide away

To the end of this broken night

Save your tears my dear

I know that you are afraid

Temporary is this fear

But cherished bonds are being made

In my arms, sit and pray

I'll carry your message day after day

You're loved child, you're loved

By your side I'll be all the way

I'm sensing abuse, and then salvation through prayer. I liked this!

you paint a picture of strength found in weakness, 'in my arms sit and pray. . . you're loved child, you're loved'
