Take My Strength

 

TAKE MY STRENGTH
 



Little child,
wontcha come out and play?
Your color don't scare me,
I won't runaway!

Touch my heart.......
feel me near.....
Take my strength......
I'll take your fear.......



Little child,
your secret is safe with me~~
See my back, arms and legs?
Black and blue is how we're meant to be!

Touch my heart.....
feel me near.....
Take my strength.......
I'll take your fear......


Little child,
I know you hurt so much~~
but we must hide those tears,
no time for our feelings and such!

Touch my heart......
feel me near.......
Take my strength.......
I'll take your fear........


Little child,
fight and scream until the black comes on in~~
bury the days of blood, torture and tears,
forget this is a place you've ever been!!


Touch my heart........
feel me near.......
Take my strength........
Let me BURY your fear........


Little child is no more these days,
Battle-scarred woman-child left to walk in her stead~~
A life bathed in darkness and shadows help her survive,
An echo deep in the abyss her only proof she's not dead!!

Take my heart.......
feel me near.......
Take MY strength......
I've buried your fear........


Brutal acts meant to devour a soul,
pop-up window memories of insanity and play~~
woman ages while the child cries to grow within,
drop them both to their knees demanding memories that stay!!




Take my heart......
feel me near.......
Take my strength.....
I'll dry your tear........


Woman remembers all the colors of her tainted past,
a sister who matched her eye for eye,
the shame, horror, and love they once shared in secret,
and the beating the sister took so one would live for two and only the stronger die!!


I took YOUR heart......
I FELT all your tears and fear.......
I TOOK your strength so great.....
I've ALWAYS felt you near.......

and.....

I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!

Can you HEAR????

Father, Have Your Arms Grown Weak?
 


 
Sweet Heavenly Father,
I fall on my knees
crying out to you once more,
pouring the very being of my soul
out amongst the winds that
they may carry my prayers even
faster to Your ears.

My baby girl, you know the one,
I placed her in your care at 15...
she's 24 now and her pain is so
much greater, more sophisticated,
more devastating to herself,
and I.

I'm doing as you would want,
my Heavenly Father...
I am raising her two young sons
as my own, loving them
best as I can,
guiding them forward to You
despite the doubt that
tears at my heart once more.

You KNOW, as no other can,
how I cry out to you for Amber...
as she still can't call to you
on her own.
She's been beaten,
she's been broken,
she's without hearth or home,
without hope or dreams,
without me to hold her....
and I'm dying inside out for the
life she throws away!

Dear Sweet Jesus,
I knew way back when
I wasn't strong enough to
save my little girl,
and my entire being laid her in your arms
I swore to stay back and let you
work within her heart and life,
to create what only you can create....
without my interference.

Heavenly Father,
owner of my soul,
have your arms grown weak?
Does my baby not deserve to
be held in her darkest of hours?
Does she not deserve your mercy
as she struggles to find THE WAY?
You know how my heart cries
run to her...
You know how my head
screams GO to her...
but I handed her over to YOU, Father...

and she's falling tonight....
and she's crying tonight....
and she's alone tonight....
and she's cutting herself tonight....

When that phone rings, Father,
will you have dropped her?
or will I hear you've taken her home?
and her pain will be gone....
even though she has never called out your name?

or will her sons and I,
bleed once again
for everything she promises,
for all the pretty words,
for all the new scars to come....
because you wait for HER to call YOU....

that wasn't part of the bargain when
I placed her in your care.....
when she was just 15....
now 24.....
and now more lost than ever.

Dear Heavenly Father,
I offer up my soul to YOU,
now,
this day,
this minute....
if you'll just save my baby!

PLEASE FATHER,
Hear my prayer!

My Swan Song

My SWAN Song
 


 
MY SWAN SONG


Can anybody hear me?
Is anybody there?
Will anybody listen?
Will just one person care?

Can anybody see me?
I’m starving my life away.
Will anybody reach me?
And ask me to live today?

Can anybody touch me?
Feel the pain I have inside?
Will anybody dare
Look in this place I hide?

Can anybody love me
Imperfect though I am?
Will anybody save me?
I’m a frightened little lamb!

Can anyone imagine
How much I want to live?
Has anybody noticed
I’ve run out of things to give?

And will anyone take notice
Of what this disorder does?
And will anyone remember
The me that I once was?

Mom...Can You Hear Me???

Mom, Can You Hear Me?
 


 
it's been 45 years, mom...
a lifetime for me,
but not for you...
so please don't go!

the earliest years
weren't shared as
mother and daughter...
my soul was shattered
by the son you
didn't watch close enough...
and you ran in shame
from the place
you held in my heart.

i never understood
what i'd done wrong,
why you stopped loving me....
i never understood
why grandma took over me,
and grandpa held me
closer to his heart
than he did the others....
i never understood,
no,
never understood,
why i always felt so
ugly,
so inhuman,
so completely invisible
to you after
that day...
and i was only 4!

mom,
he raped me,
said, done,
can't be undone....
it took 22 more years
for you to tell me
it wasn't my fault...
that you believed me,
that i wasn't unlovable....
that it was your guilt
that kept you back,
that kept our hearts
not apart,
but jaded to
each other...
and that it was from
love that you gave
me to grandma and grandpa!

they were dead when
you finally told me...
too late to raise me then,
too late to make it
all better,
too late to be
my mom....
but it wasn't
too late for us, mom...
not for us to make
something better,
stronger,
more secure than
typical mom and daughter....
and it was slow,
often painful,
alot of stops and starts....
but we have it now, mom...
a solid friendship.

things are really bad
for you now, mom...
i don't know what to do
to help you,
to ease your pain,
to lighten your burden,
to stop the future
from coming so fast...
and i can't face
what a tomorrow is
going to bring...
the end of our friendship,
the end of your life...
the death of MY MOM!!

mom, can you
hear me?
i love you!!
yesterday, i loved you!
today, i love you!
tomorrow and forever
i will always love you....
please fight even
harder...
like MY life depends
on it....
don't give in,
don't give up,
don't let go....
can you hear me, mom?
i NEED you to stay!
i NEED you to keep
loving me!
i NEED more time with you...
time to change what was...
time to build more memories
of now...
time to understand
why God is taking
you away from me
when we've just found
each other again
not so long ago.....

mom,
can you hear me?
i KNOW time is ticking...
i KNOW how much
your body is hurting...
i KNOW how you long
to go,
but still really want to stay....
and i KNOW
you love me now...
that you loved me then....
that your love will
live forever within me.....

mom,
can you hear me?
i promise i'll
be okay...
i promise
i won't hurt myself...
i promise not to forget
that God brought us
back together in time...
and i promise to
move forward with
my life to make
you proud of me.

mom,
can you hear me?
PLEASE don't
leave me....
but if you can't stay,
i pray God takes you fast now...
i pray no more pain
for you...
i pray for paradise
to be everything
you deserve....
i pray for the
angels to lead you in
and for grandma and grandpa
to meet you at the gates
of forever....

but mom,
if you can hear me....
know how much i want
you to live.....
if you can hear me,
won't you come home
once more?
