[hometext] => Can you see the hope?
[bodytext] => Crawling through life Faces become a blur Nothing is as it seems A child weeps alone Curled in a tight corner Wrapped in her only safety, her tiny arms Clothes all ripped and torn Goosebumps consume her body. Bare feet, blue as the deep sea Marvelous curly, blonde hair Matted across her forehead Tears dripping on her bruised knees Her face, indescribable Expression of hatred and fear Her lips slightly parted, capturing wetness Her eyes, black and swollen, Stare at an unseen object. Deep within those cold blue eyes, Trying to escape, images of Unforgettable panic, unimaginable fear Look deeper, see any hope? Don’t turn away, she’s no monster. I stand gazing at a child, I crave to hug. But she’s far from reach, beyond my control. I want to turn away, An unseen force holds my sight I shiver with fears that are not my own A sudden urge to scream Her gaze locks mine, eyes turning colder I taste warmth on my lips My own tears for this child, And all I’ve seen here. Seen horrors in her eyes, eyes of hatred I know I can’t save her, I pray As I hear pounding steps, growing closer A noise so loud, my ears begin to ring Suddenly we both realize, the time is here I watch, screaming for help, praying She’s still too far from reach Finally, her pain begins subside Her cold eyes begin to lift, Showing signs of hope. She sees me, I smile I sit next to her, crying together Holding her close, comforting a sorrow filled little girl The time has come for my job to be done. She smiles once before closing her eyes One last time Her breath slows to a halt Her body goes limp, But this little girl of ten, Smiles for the first time in five years For as she lay to die, She knows she was not alone For I was with her, Her Guardian Angel!

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
