From Broken to Joy

From Broken to Joy




I gained a voice in the affairs of my life…
After childhood abuse…
I learned to fight
To step up..
Never back down..

That changed one day
When..
Three months  pregnant..
Sick.. exhausted from fighting..
Standing my ground..
Very ill..
On the verge ..
Of losing my  lil one..
Who was clinging to life.
By a thread..
I was ..
Bleeding.. cramping..
World on twirl and tilt..


I hit the floor..
Again.. and again..
I don’t remember
The offense..
That time..
However,
This time..
I couldn’t get up..
Laid there for hours..
Forgotten..
Laid there…
Broken..
Dispirited..
Abused..
And knew..
I could not do this again.
So ..

I changed my no to a yes..
My refusal to acceptance..
Broken in heart
Broken in Spirit..
Broken in body..

I gave a promise
To my lil one
For her life..
To..
Protect her..
Love her
Guide her..
Through life..
With God’s help..

From Broken to Joy
Was a long trail
The Lord supplied
All my needs..
Lead me through
Each valley..
And saved my
Child’s life…

Today.
I am not broken in spirit..
He restoreth My soul..
Made good His Promises
Put my feet on solid ground..
For He surely is..
My Rock
My Strength..
My Redeemer!!
