POEM DECEMBER WROTE
The child sits alone
Tears coming from her eyes
Like water falls
She curled into a ball
Trying to hide herself from
The rest of the world
But nothing can protect her
From when daddy comes
Home from work…mad
He blames her for his problems
For to him she Is a little sin
Something that he shouldn’t have
Even help created
As her father beats her she
Cry’s out “im sorry daddy I love you I didn’t mean to!”
But its far to late the father is to lost
In his sick joy of beating her
But this single night something different
Happen to the girl
After her father had beaten her and she lay
There with a broken arm and her head throbbing with pain
An angel came to her
She was the most beautiful thing the little one had ever seen
The angel smiles warmly at the broken little girl
And spoke as she leaned down and gathered girl
Into her arms
“my child you don’t have to worry any more
Ur father up in heaven is waiting for you with
Joyful arms”
The girl for the first time showed a smiled
A true smiles
All her pain disappeared and she sprouted wings
And she flew to heaven with the angel

One of my fondest memories is of 'fall' on the village where I lived when I was small. When the entire neighborhood gathered to rake leaves into a huge pile, set afire, then tossed in potatoes to roast. I love 'life in the village' memories. Have a great day friend. Huggs, BJ

I love fall, it's crisp air, the wonderful fresh smell, & that I can open my doors & windows to let her in. Have a glorious week and be blessed. Bigg Huggs, BJ .. You'll never stand as tall as when you stoop to help a child ~Abraham Lincoln~
We may be ordinary people but we were put on this Earth to do extraordinary things. I believe we each have it in us the strength and power to create an impact and make a change in this world . We just have to search deep within ourselves and find that courage and that strength that lies in our hearts and put it to use in a good, positive way that will bring about the change that this world need.
