Battered and bruised, twisted and torn, confused! Which
Way to turn, a prisoner at home.
Not one, not two, not three, but four in all.
Are torn in pain, hurt, sadness,
Fills the air. She tells her
Family, things will get better,
Promises, she hopes to keep.
A relationship running into dead ends.
A dark man's lies to keep her still.
Fives years is too long,
Time to flee, time to escape,
From this insane massive beast.
"When?" She asks, "When will we
Go?"
"Don’t push me!" Is his response?
Another year, she waits.
Believing things will get better, but
Are still the same.
"Why?" she asks,
"Why did I ever get involved?
Why do I continue to believe?
Is it because
He cares for me and my children?"
She stands there wandering.
She looks back
On her past, wishing she changed,
Wishing she had done better.
She feels she let her children down.
Broken promises, four years past,
Everything is still the same.
He hides in the dark,
And makes insults behind people's back.
He can be sweet, this beast.
He can be caring, this beast.
He can be funny, this beast.
Love has fallen through the cracks.
Will he change? Time will tell.

Love is not
Love is not someone who pulls you down.
Who lies to you.
Who yells at your kids.
Who break promises.
Who is lies to your family.
Love is not someone who thinks they are the one, who has to call all of the shots.
Who treats your adult children like little kids.
Love is someone who builds you up.
Who gives you hope.
Who is there for you.
Who doesn't lie to you.
Who guides you.
Love is someone, you know you can come home to and know you are safe.
CAN You Find It in Your Heart
Can you find it in your heart to forgive?
Can you go to the person and look him stay in the eye and
Say, “I forgive you?”
Do you still hold a grudge against the person who has let you down?
Isn’t time to let down your guard?
Do we have the right to judge those around us?
Do we have the right to poke fingers at?
Who is he that is without sin?
What right do we have to get angry?
Are we ill, because we have been mistreated?
Does this mean we should let them walk all over us?
NO!
Does this mean we should stay with the person who has been abusive to us?
NO!
Does this mean we should listen to hatred words and be ridicule by others?
NO!
Can you find it in your heart to forgive?
Can you find it in your heart to love?
Turn back the past of time,
Bring it forward into today.
Let those around you know you care.
Let those around you know you love.
Let those around you know you forgive.
Do not hold a grudge.
Open up your home and invite them in.
Stir up kindness
Stir up love.
Stir up Forgiveness,
And you will stir up
Peace.
