precious little boy…
someday reveals a softness
trapped on the sidelines

Family doomed right from the start
Plain and simple, Dad likes to roam
Pain he causes pervades the home
And Mom contains her broken heart
Safety denied, she plays it smart
Tried to escape his angry scorn
Long before a third child was born
But now the coast and skies are clear
With turbo speed, they flee in fear
Reaching the runway plane next morn
Not every woman’s story can be told, so for this day in Women’s History Month I’m recognizing those whose plight remains unknown but their strength and courage is empowering.
