GHOST CHILD----TO TRIUMPH

I'VE MOURNED THE-----CHILD----THAT NEVER----WAS
THE REASON I'VE HELPED---- IS FOR ----A CAUSE
ONCE CALLED---- FAIRY- HILD ------>TIS TRUE
EVERYTHING NOW----- BECOMING------NEW
UNKNOWN----UNHEARD---- BY ANYONE
THE LONG, LONG----SEARCH
(FOR) A PLACE-----IN THE SUN
SOME OF THAT CHILD----REMAINS TODAY
SHE NOW SPEAKS UP----IN BIG, BIG WAY
SHE'S LEARNED THAT NOW----IT'S TIME TO FLY
UPON A PRECIPICE---- WAY UP-----HIGH
BUTTERFLY---WITH WINGS---OF ---GOLD
SHIMMERING IN SUNLIGHT----NOW OUT---OF THE--- COLD
WHAT HAPPENS TO HER NOW-----IS UP TO----ME
SHE'S DONE HER WORK----- AND NOW----SHE'S-------------FREE

Courage and Hope

I've finally-----become----the woman---I've wanted----to be

With hope------ Courage----love and ---bravery

I've tried making a difference-----in others' lives

Tried to be---honest----with no------alibies

Some people------trying to discredit me

They ----do not like-----my---- honesty

It matters------NOT

There's a tremendous------price

At which-----it was-----------bought

All the detractors----cannot stop----- me

From speaking------about---------reality

A lifetime without---- taking chances-----is not worth----

Living--------I'll never----slow down
---Never stop giving---

To---who---and wherever----I can

My story---and voice--------they cannot----ban

(New Hampshire's motto_

LIVE FREE, OR DIE

-----Resonates with me------while waiting---to fly

I'm (eternally) grateful to Ross-----and----- Captain Sam

Those heroes------forever part-----of who I can be ---------

Who I-------------------- am

His Delight

I never thought I would be----a woman scorned
Or perhaps, at times------a woman to be mourned

God gave me gifts----exquisite----and pure
heart that is tender----a temperament to endure

(He said): Sing, dance----and write
You'll be my----delight

(I'll give to her----all and this is a gift)
a soul that can heal------ a smile----that can----lift

She was wounded (like me)----to be a healer now
How is it you missed that----all of you----somehow

I didn't create her for you to abuse
to add to her misery attack and accuse

I am the only father ever she had
She is my child of that I am glad

You couldn't destroy her
because nothing could
She never gave up like some people would

Someday in heaven before me you'll stand
Why is it that no one----even offered---- their hand

I'll love her and cherish her----like you never would
I'll love her and cherish her----like you never----could

You were ready to punish her-----without one word
Her story was there----just waiting to be heard

So now should I judge you

The way you judged her----let's concur

Your judgement shall be You now listen to her

The Inquisition

Man's inhumanity----to man
They can do it like nobody can

(If alive) **Torquemada would have been proud
He would have said----forget ballots------
just shout it----out loud!

She's guilty as sin
Don't let her back in

He'd be dripping with evil just like you were
He'd be pointing a finger----away----with her!

Flog her with whips----and stone her with stones
I can feel life returning to my skeletal----bones

If only I could have been there
To snicker----and stare

The vote would have been one hundred and one
I could have said---------well, I guess we've won

My (frigid) lips I could lick
Oh, wait----that was too quick

I have it an iron maiden would work
Dancing with glee while around you I lurked

So carry on there's new victims I know
The line is so long------seeds of evil to sow

**First grand inquisitor to Spain (1483) Papal Representative The Hammer of Heretics,the light of Spain -8,000 deaths by fire, over 9,000 deaths in other ways...................

My Guardian Angel

Jesus said to my guardian angel----that night
I will return before morning's light

Go be with her----for I must be with----
someone ----that's dying----

Why didn't He know

It was

Me............................


A Brush of the Angel's Wing

While asleep in my bed----I felt a gentle breeze
In my mind thinking what was that----please?

I heard a soft voice----gently saying
It's your angel----and I heard you----praying

That breeze-----was a brush of my angel wing
Telling you that God wants you to-----sing

He gave you the gifts-----of singing and dance
and very soon you will have the chance

I gave her those talents----they're not to be wasted
She's to use them-----to heal----all the pain that she's tasted

Someday----her wings will unfold
As each time her story----is told

I hover nearby
and hear your cry

Someday----and someday----real soon
You will take to the sky
And fly near-----the moon

Your wings will be----glittering-----they'll be shiny and new
You'll do all of the things ----you ever-------needed (wanted) ....to do.

Trauma

You were----so willing
To start----the killing

Keep the sabbath day holy----He said
Then you went home----and went to----bed

No selling or buying on MY day
YOU sold her (out) she had to pay

You added abuse to a lifetime of trauma and pain
No one EVER spoke-----or called-----again

She is------precious----in my sight
You used darkness where there should have been light

Only a week----what was your hurry!?
You took His place------judge----and jury

Blessed are they-----who mourn
I knew her----before----she was born

Blessed are they----who hunger----and thirst
You put her last----I'll put her----first

Casting the Stones

If your child----asks you----for bread
Do you give him a stone-----instead!?

That's what you-----did
throwing those stones-----at her head

For I have streams of living water
Deep----and refreshing-----for which I bought her

Nothing can live----on sterile ground (as in minds)
EVERYTHING lives-----when I'M-----around

Birds that sing----so melodious-----a song
reated for beauty----to me-----they belong

Lillies of the field----perfumed----and bowing
All of my creation-----magnificently----allowing

My glory----to shine
Because of my----
Universe------divine

I see (even)----the sparrow.....when he falls----to the ground
You tried to drop her-----but on me her voice called----and I know that sound

I sat next to her----all invisible----to you
That church was an office-----you had business to do

I had my arm----around her-----though invisible to you
She sat with quiet dignity (thanks to Me)----all invisible to you

You gave her a stone-----though----she asked----for bread
All invisible to you------by my spirit----she's------led

You gave her up------but by me------------
She is----fed

Courage and Peace

Your Holy spirit stood-----in my place------
Giving me such courage-----peace-----ineffable----grace

While having to be there-------their **calumny to face
The memory of betrayal-----so hard-----to erase

His eye is on the sparrow
Their lives----and minds-----so narrow

...................and I know-----He was-----watching----me
To be the best-----of Hymn***-----that I could----be

Like a mother gathers her chicks----before----a storm breaks
How You----gathered me--------------under your wing while my heart ached

He sees----every time----a sparrow----does fall---------------

I didn't fall, just slipped----out of the nest
and waited for Him----to do----what he always----does best

His spirit spoke to me they shall not bruise your heal----
nor your head at all----for I want you not to fall------or ----feel

The 10,000 cruelties and tempest-----that surround thee
Right by your side-----I always will be-------and you will be free

To comfort----and defend
For
I am your God
I will hold you----until----you can mend


**Calumny: Act of uttering false charges of misrepresentation maliciously calculated to damage another's reputation!!

***Hymn----intentional

God Never Fails

I am your God-----I cannot-----fail
Like Paul they put----you-----in a jail

They drew lots-----for my coat-----away back----then
You gambled with a life-----not knowing------when

-----------or how-------------that life----would survive
-----or EVEN if-----she would stay alive

My robe was seamless--------and I covered her----with it
My justice-----is seamless------One day it will fit

--------------HER----a white robe----to bear
-----and on her head----she will----wear

crown----and blue-white diamonds-----in her hair
To show you-----how much-----I DID CARE

She'll keep HER crown----and sit by----my seat
Now I'm inspired
and you'll----be required

To take your crown off-----and cast it----at my----feet

Leaving me for Dead

long time ago----one of them----said
We'll pray for you-----(but unlike the Good Samaritan)
Walked away----and left me----for dead

Faith----without works----is dead
It mattered not--------what you said

You left me----lying there
In total----despair
So much to do-----no time----to care

I guess unless you've suffered it means nothing to you
On to other things-----so much ----to do

Like Jesus a wounded healer----I have been
Nobody knows----the where----or the----when

The journey I've taken
Feeling forgotten----feeling forsaken

But HE did----and HE does
and HE-----ever----loves

Those broken and forgotten----by men
But HE lived----and LIVES AGAIN

He came to his own----and they knew him----not
It seems that----you-----all forgot

Unless you've been----yourself unable to save
you laid me in the tomb----in the deep dark grave

One day I'll arise
and----take to the skies

HE's take me aside
I'll----be His bride

He'll whisper----so soft and low
I'M sorry----they made you go

Look upon my face (so filled with grace)
You are now----home-----and this
----Is YOUR place
