Chapel for Children's Cares - #0071
Sister Child Advocate

I am but a child
but my spirit is broken
under the cruelty
of my parent's words.
                         Lisa Burkheimer

Psalm 69 : New Am. Standard
20. Reproach has broken my heart and I am so sick. And I looked for sympathy, but there was none, And for comforters, but I found none.
21. They also gave me gall for my food And for my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.

[ Note : Lisa works with abused children and works to enlighten people to the damage our harsh words can be on our children. All her poetry reflects her work. S. Maggie ]
