    Holocaust Odyssye

    It's been 40 long years now, since my Childhoo.
    I call it my Holocaust time,
    Dark days, crazy nights,
    locked up in terror, & feeling ungodly fright.

    Powerless and without understanding,
    Too young to know about life,
    only Out-of-Body experiences,
    as I was beaten, about 1" from my life.

    After so many blows with a razor strap belt,
    I lost track of the time, & even what was my crime,
    As I begged for mercy, & cried out to God,
    The unbearable pain, split my flesh, & split my mind.

    So many, many times
    I heard my voice & my screams,
    Crying out to Jesus
    before I passed out like in a dream.

    Tough, tough times
    Always living in fear,
    waiting oh so quiet
    listening for anything I could hear.

    I can see that some of the physical scars maybe be gone but the mental ones still haven't healed. It isn't right to treat anyone this way much less your daughter. As Merrilyn states your a strong lady with a lovely heart.
