When I write a poem for someone,
That poem belongs to them.
And I wouldn't put a poem on my site
without permission of the new "owner".
BUT........THIS IS THE EXCEPTION !!!!!!
You see, I wrote this poem for an on line friend
who was starting a support group for those who had
suffered child abuse. I helped her write the introduction
to the group, and she told me about the things that she had experienced and her desire to mend those broken hearts.
I wrote her last e-mail address to get her permission to use the following poem, and I have lost her !!!!!!! I'm praying that no trouble has befallen her or her family, and that it's just a case of being too busy to keep in touch.
Anyway, now I'm adding the poem, in the hope that what my friend wanted to achieve with her support group might in some way, be accomplished within the lines of this poem. And she might one day see this poem, and remember----she is loved.
HAPPY ADDENDUM:
NOT ONLY HAS THE POEM BROUGHT SOME NICE RESPONSES
BUT MY "LONG-LOST" FRIEND HAS BEEN HEARD FROM, TOO.
SHE IS VERY HAPPY ABOUT THE POEM BEING ON LINE
AND WANTS ANYONE INTERESTED TO VISIT HER GROUP SITE TOO.
to live again----
Little angels with dirty faces,
Hide their hurts in unseen spaces,
All the while their heartbeat races
and they try to keep step to paces
set by those who hurt them ; cases
that break your heart and leave traces
of tear-stains shed in unseen places.
How to bind the broken hearts?
and give them back the broken parts,
all bound with Love and Hope imparts
A flood of joy and feeling starts
to bring about the saintly arts
Of Binding up these Broken Hearts !!
On silver wings each Angel starts
to live again.
