Out Of The Ashes

though penniless we may be

 

we shall fight to keep our angels three

 

no longer a dysfunctional family

 

from the cycles of abuse we have broken free

 

out of the ashes we now stand strong and tall

 

our family tree shall not wither nor fall

 

I pray for the lord to take care of us all

 

As we silently await his awesome call

Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful work. Out of diversity often comes strenght. I am so glad you have risen in strength as a family unit. May God continue to keep you under his protective hand. May your strength and positive thinking bring your family back together soon. Keep up the great writing. You are the fuel and heart of your family. I admire your tackling these issues.

Excellent! I don't see anything I would change or attempt to improve on this work.

I like this Deb, it speaks of the work and patience it takes to hold a family together. With America's divorce rate at about 50%, I think a few more might benefit to take those struggles to heart. Love is not always easy but it is always rewarding. A very nice write.

Great flow, and strong and wonderful message.
Really makes one feel you are triumphant and humble, and ready. Excellent

Out Of The Ashes, and another, My Angels, which I had read just minutes before, seem to speak of an impending storm in your life, perhaps involving custody? I can only say that you have chosen a strong harbour in which to shelter, while the storm rages. While your anchor is cast there, no wave of ill-fortune may capsize you.
Glad, too, to see you trying a non-acrostic medium!

Short, simple and full of life and hope. Rising from the ashes and breaking the chains and cycle of abuse.. is a very tough task and one that is a continuous battle! I love the persistance and determination conveyed in this.. a very strong stance! Thank you very much for sharing! =)
