Flower Petals Around Her Eyes – Poem

Flower Petals Around Her Eyes

She was a beautiful girl

With flower petals around her eyes

Many sad pictures they’ve seen,

This life was born into lies…

.

She was created by love

And had a pure little heart…

Yet, before she turned seventeen,

Her face was far from His art.

.

If the house, she lived in, had eyes and ears

It would hear constant weeping

It would witness her tears.

.

Thus, her soul embraced many a crime

Pictures she saw changed who she was –

No, it wasn’t just time…

.

Just like her mum, she too became wild

She quit school at thirteen

At fourteen, she was carrying a child.

.

She gave birth and her baby away

Since then, she’s been drinking, every single day.

She tried many evils, under the Sun…

And she run, she run – like a wild horse she run.

.

While searching for love and for an escape

She became familiar with the pain of rape.

So, she run even faster, but could not run away

Until… she yielded and started to pray…

.

Only then, she knew she was truly heard.

He sounded unlike the others, who yelled,

Punched her belly and slapped her face…

There was only love within His embrace.

.

Amazing Grace!

It washed her mind and erased her curse.

Now, she was ready to embrace His verse.

She became His child. She was fifty, by then.

.

The world had told her she’s worthless,

and yet… He bought her…

.

His Life was the Price!

They studied wrinkles she had acquired

He focused on petals around her eyes.
.
.
She had nothing to give, but gave Him her all
Now, the world sees art – not a dirty wall.
.
.
.
