Surrender Your Heart Little One
From One Survivor to Another
http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/2091725/child_of_darkness.html?cat=42
God bless you dear heart and to all the other abused and violated lonely children and adults too in the world. This is for you.
Surrender your heart little one,
I know how much your heart aches.
Surrender your heart little one,
I know how much it breaks.
Don't let anyone tell you it was your fault,
The blame is not yours.
Damaged and broken,
But not beyond repair,
This is a small token
To say it is not fair.
Surrender your heart little one,
Not all are vile or diseased.
God will deal with them,
You will be freed.
Surrender your heart little one,
I know how hard it is,
I am not one to preach to you,
I have had to learn to live,
Tainted by evil,
Brushed with lies,
I too have suffered with silent cries.
Surrender your heart little one,
I know it's not fair,
No one can understand,
Like one who has been there.
Silent screams
Vile dreams,
Terror clogged throat,
Taunting self rote,
Never gone,
Manage the wrong.
You can learn to trust,
Somehow you must,
Believe there are those who are kind,
Of like mind.
Surrender your heart little one,
Body mind and soul.
Only God in heaven can make you whole.
