A childhood that should have been filled
With happiness and joy becomes a
Ghoulish nightmare of a life time.
Memories of her brutal past
not faded leave an indelible
impression in her tender, delicate mind.
Her dreams of dark things
form a harsh reality when
she is robbed of her womanhood
by her beloved Dad.
Burning with shame and affliction,
she decides to end her life
by drowning herself in the river.
Then, she sees the reflections in
the water of two Angels
with halos above their heads,
imploring her to restrain herself
and inviting her to a Land of
peace, bliss and perpetual love.
