Faith
There are no monsters here sweet child.
No cause for any running wild.
No cause to fight.
No cause to hide.
Just Love,
and Patience.
Side by side.
There are no demons hiding here.
No reason to be full of fear.
It’s even safe to shed a tear.
Let go, let be.
Love lives here,
and Patience.
Side by side
Four years old with all that pain.
A brother never seen again.
and all those memories remain.
Beatings, constant ,stinging rain.
Not one moment God ordained.
But someday,
I pray,
Love will Reign,
and Patience.
Side by side.

Elizabeth, this poem is heart-breaking. Wish you could tell the story behind this pain...This poor little child. May God hold him in His arms. And I know He does, as you hold the little child in your arms. God's blessings on you. I know you will be rewarded for your work...Helen
