Poem
I could’ve swore I saw angels walk past my window.
I surely saw them out there with their long hair flowing and white bushy wings gliding by my closed window.
Or was it Tamar that was brutally raped and Dinah that was raped to standing as advocates against my window?
Did they walk through Heaven’s Window?
Were they crying too as they walked past my closed window?
I wonder a 1000 times if they saw the bursting crack in the window?
Surely God sees my face like an angel’s reflection against a wet misty eyed closed window.
Tell me, when does God come to rescue a child from a breaking window?
Does he appear before a breaking window?
Or does he wait to repair the broken window?

I was just in 6th grade in this picture and the light went out in my eyes. I saw no hope. I saw no future. I felt dead inside.
Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you,” declares the Lord, “
Isaiah 53:5 He was wounded for our transgressions pierced for our inquities and the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed.

You can also get my original elephant to be the eyes and ears on your child's wall that reminds you to always keep your eyes and ears open to end sibling sexual abuse. The surfboard is a reminder that every child deserves and needs safe space to grow.
