Excellent
Not yet exceptional. When the exceptional rating is reached this is highlighted
A deadly reminder of a life of abuse
A chapter in the book And then there's Grace

Heavens Door

by Carolyn 'Deaton' Stephens

Heavens Door

Hoodie up around her ears
Hiding face and flowing tears
Bruise on cheek from hand's hard blow
Pain and burning in her side
Injuries to deep to hide

Searing soul that leaves no pride
Self esteem is but a word
Silent screams are never heard

Then one day a blow to head
Leaves this child lifeless,
cold and dead

CSI is on the way
Too late to save
Too late to pray

Angel band is waiting near
Will rise with her to
Father dear

Then in heaven
she'll take her place
No more bruises on her face

The gentle spirits
waiting there
Will hold her gently
Stroke her hair

She'll never remember life before
Once she enters
Heaven's door.
