I really think what you have done with your photographs that visually illustrate with great impact the change from a happy girl to a sad girl.

Your poem has powerfully illustrated the stigma of abuse, and hope resolved through faith.

Excellent write, Shirley, albeit a most sad subject.

I like it because I can relate.

Sometimes it is hard to let go of the feelings that abuse evokes, but through God, there is always hope, and healing, when we look.

A very true and real statement that you captured beautifully in your poem.

Keep sharing.

Lisa

Shirley, This is a very well written short poem you have penned about child abuse that never really disappears, but we learn to accept, address and heal. Thank you for sharing. love and blessings, teri

Lovely and meaningful poem. I have also suffered abuse so I know the stigma and pain. Archbishop Oscar Romero said that some truths can only be seen through tears of suffering. that is how I think you see hope. Well done.
