little one

Little one

Little one stuck in the cross fire,

Adults broken and lost

Dragging the innocent into the quagmire

Anger, violence, abuse now on child, their albatross

Splintering, splitting, and burying the pain.

To the world pretending all is well,

But day by day the enemy adding chain

Child becoming hollowed out, empty shell.

Relationships so un-trust worthy.

Confusion and chaos swirling round,

So tired, starving and thirsty,

Numbing the only place solace is found.

Religious shackles thrown on for good measure;

Should’s and shouldn’ts, rules and regulations.

The truth and love of Jesus, buried treasure.

 Hurt upon hurt, Pile on more violations.

But God in his great Mercy

Revealing his gift of salvation

He sees you little one as worthy

Now begins the transformation.

Stripping way of lies and iniquity

Removing the heritage of pain

Restoring original dignity

Heavenly sacrifice clearing all stains.

Not your fault, not your load!

Rest now sweet one in His loving arm,

Releasing of anguish won’t implode,

He the great physician will cause no harm.

Survival, each part learned its role;

Pain bearers, organizer, parent, and child.

Dissociating so as to save the whole.

 Fear not new territory, now to reconcile.

Healing his heart’s desire

You journey not alone

He dresses you in righteous attire

His spirit with you and in you, his home.

Safe to trust the trust worthy one

Safe to give all memories too

Safe is God’s only son

Safe to bring to light and rest in truth.
