The Beast the Blind and the Child
A child born into this world a miracle granted by God but
raised by a beast instead of a father and blind and defenseless woman instead
of a mother.
With no reason in the world to dare and dream and every excuse
to give up this child carries on as if nothing is wrong in their life.
They move through every day as though tomorrow will be the
day that will change everything. Never giving up hope and never carrying hate
and anger but loving as though they were loved by some kind of invisible love.
Standing strong and leading those who will follow them, they
pray for those who will be hurt each day and praying for those who will hurt
them just comes naturally.
An understanding that most will never have that kindness and
forgiveness is the answer and key to surviving what would otherwise destroy
them.
With no guarantees and no reason to believe they just know
that someone is watching over them and someday they will be rescued from the
depths of darkness they have called home.
Young in age but wise beyond anyone’s comprehension they
choose to suffer in silence waiting for the day they are led down the road to
freedom and peace.
What a gift God granted this child to filter out hate and
evil and let in love and faith. To save this child with no more than a promise
that everything would turn out how it should and a cloud of protection that
only he could provide.
To send his saving grace to this child in forms of friends,
teachers, policeman, Sunday school advisors, family and strangers. He strengthened
his child until they were prepared for the rest of the world which would be
just as cruel and hard at times.
This one is to all the abused and battered children in the
world. There really is hope and you never have to let those people win by
repeating their mistakes. Win with love and kindness, peace and joy, and faith
that there is better to come.
