Stepping Beyond The Picture . . . Children

Another segmant from my series

Oh Teddy! Teddy just look!!   This is our home now Teddy It's really really home!   Teddy are we over the rainbow Is all of this really happening   This just  HAS  to be as it seems Oh Teddy please .... It  HAS  to be   Or .... Are we like Dorothy In the land of Oz   Will we wake up To find all this only A beautiful dream   A yellow brick road to smiles Do you know How good that seems   No more secrets I have to swear not to tell   No more silent screams   Just look Teddy How beautiful home is inside   Not even once today Was I told   If you touch ... I'll tan your hide!   My new Mommy Combed my hair real pretty And then she said to me   Jennel You are the prettiest angel That I have ever seen Me Teddy? ... Me!   Then she hugged me   REAL  BIG!   She told me That Mommy Can't find us here   I could never understand Why Mom would grab And pull my hair   I tried to be a real good girl Cause I was always so askared But no matter how hard I tried I was always a bad girl there   If I did not do what Mom said She threatend me With tearing off your head!   Teddy I was  glad To take the beatings To keep you safe in our bed   You have always been right here by me Your fur wet from falling tears I can't remember a day I haven't cried Except for the day we've just spent here And now ...   You will share with me the bestest smiles That our angels have found a way To make for us come alive   Dad won't be paying any more visits in the quiet of the night   No more listening for his footsteps   No more guilty feelings Of no matter what Dad says There is something that is not right A new Mommy and Daddy Hugs and kisses all around!   Our Dear Jesus Did just as he promised We who were lost in fear Have now been found   No ... Teddy We have found our rainbow I just know it   My heart feels so different now!     Jennel I told you only a minute Better come inside now sweetie   Mommy has made some hot chocolate For you to drink before you go to bed What's hot chocolate? (Oh my precious baby ... my precious baby)   My lap is still waiting for my favorite girl And you still need to pick your story to be read Your bed is waiting for your first night home To rest your pretty head   Better get your sleep Princess Cause when the morning comes Grandma will be paying a visit She just can't wait to get her first hugs Not one more second precious little one It will be another very busy day You got to rest up for some more fun   Come on now scamp Your holding up progress Its time for Our goodnight prayers to be sung     Oh my Teddy I think Jennel's feet Are stuck to the grass   Yep they're not moving   Pick em up and put em down little one Or the tickle bug will get you Ooops here he comes now!!!!!!   Beyond this picture There is a little girl just like me Waiting to step out of her bad dream too I sure hope she finds her way Cause this feels oh so nice Coming Daddy . . . . (Giggle)   Oh Daddy I'm coming!       This little girl has found her way To step beyond her picture Into a beautiful new life Won't you help another little one To find their way?

A very beautifully sad piece
that not only aids for us who are human to reach out
even to knowing is far more,
I remember many dreams of mine
where my dream body was always stuck
even entranced in fear....my fears were not as this child
but so so similar, and you again my dear Lesa has done
another wonderful deed in bringing this to life in our forgotten hearts..
God help us to help those vulnerable to be a voice for their silent cries
and..this is one of your specialties...a beautiful aspiring piece...just as your angel!!

hugs..Rena~

This is so sad.. so sad... such a lonely feeling and the abuse that she felt... so cold.. I have tears in my heart... I wonder if this happen to you? oh ! so sad... this piece has all the feelings a child could feel ! confusion and abuse and at the end.. peace , love and home.. finally10

A wonderful poem and one that makes one really think. All to often people just turn and look the other way.
