This poem was written by one of our investigators. She is a wonderful writer.

Our lives are full of pain and sorrow
It's hard to be hopeful when you fear for tomorrow.
There is so much anger, sadness and regret
... You can move on and forgive but you can never forget.
We hope that our children are happy and strong
We pray everyday that nothing will go wrong.
We don't want our children to have our fears
We want them to be happy and free of sad tears.
But life is not perfect we all have our trials
We need to stick together and work for our smiles.
Because happiness is there open your eyes and see
Practice Faith, Hope and Love and the happier you'll be!
