only some children
can claim that life is easy
only some adults
have a life that is easy
for there are many whose dreams
shattered before their eyes
heartbreak and heartache
the sum of their existence
when what is spoken is not true
when deceit dominates
yet forgiveness is expected
escape to better living is excruciating

The cycle continues until a small brave voice says, “No more”. Love the poem and the quote!

Yes, indeed! Thanks, Val. The quote was the inspiration. I’m always happy to come across things like that. :)

We’ll said. Often hurts become multi-generational. The hurt and damage done can unwittingly colour other relationships. How to break the cycle.

Thank you, Jasper. I appreciate that. Yes, I feel that much of it is multi-generational. Slowly but surely though, I think we are identifying how to do exactly that. Education and information is huge! Thank goodness for the Internet!
