Though I wear scars of yesterday,
I do not fear my past.
I've found the strength I need to live,
my soul is free at last.
Dark nightmares that belonged to me,
are now sweets dreams of color.
No longer do I have the fear,
that I'd become my mother.
I have a heart replete with love,
the Lord has healed my pain.
If it was not because of Him,
I would have gone insane.
Each new day I have the chance,
to start my life again.
I thank the Lord up above,
for He's forgiven my every sin.
I'm a Mom with a tender touch,
the abuse goes on no more.
I'll not allow the darkness in,
the way I did before.
I might have days that aren't just right,
but God will see me through.
Though I've been weak He's always strong,
His love is pure and true.

Sam...best of luck in this contest. You are wearing your arm on your sleeve as usual...and that makes for such beautiful and inspirational poetry.....it is so great to know that we do not repeat the sins of our parents , but rather take them and repent for them in a way......by making things better in our own lives

This is a very touching write. I am sorry you had a hard childhood, but you survived and are breaking the chain. That is a wonderful thing. Your flow and meter are great. God bless you, Sam. You bring a lot of messages to light.
