Firstly I love your artwork and presentation. The text is so easy to read. The poem is very thought provoking. Childhood abuse is so unthinkable. Very well written. Cheers. Jen.

Triumphantly inspiring poem! When we throw off the victim's cloak and with all appropriate support don the survivor's cape it is emancipation! How powerful to declare
All attempts to crush you failed miserably! This is an anthem for so many! Me, as well...

This is emotional! I love how you take us on your journey through the pain to the other side-joy! Not all can heal from difficult situations. Your rhyme and flow are very well done and i like your little separators! Great work!

This poem is excellent in every respect: It conveys a message of victory
over the past, with God's help, and peace of mind; and the form is
superb--with rhyming and metrical patterns sustained throughout and
effective use of specifics.

This work has reached the exceptional level

This is incredibly well written, Shirley. You entire presentation if perfect for the harrowing journey from being abused in childhood to reconciliation.

Your ballad metre and rhyme is mostly spot on, with just one little metre thing in this line:

no longer come in dark of night. You have two syllables too many, and this is an easy repair for you.

Excellent poem and another fine addition to your personal journey through childhood darkness.

Gloria

A very well-written heartfelt poem. We all have hard times that we struggle with but when we find God along our path it seems our troubles fading away and our lives become easier each day.

Letting go of the past helps us move on and be more positive. We cannot change it and allowing forgiveness helps us to heal, I could identify with your words, love Dolly x

You have written a very moving poem here, Shirley.
Child abuse is a terrible thing and we know God witnessed all of it and as you say he left the door ajar for you to find the light, forgive your abuser, and move on. Poetry is
therapeutic. Nancy:)

When one has children of our own, and then grandchildren, they are so beautiful, and all I want to do is to shield them and love them, because I adore their sweet souls.thats why it hurts me to read of the abuse undeserved, it's a lifetime sentence. I'm so sorry, Shirley, but God is in to miracles, beautifully written dear girl. Written 8686 ballad style, and abcb rhyming, it moved me deeply, blessings, Roy
