She Will Hear A Different Song {Reverb 11: Day 2}

Day 2: If you could chose one thing your child will do or experience in a different way than you have, what would it be and why?

the hymn that i heard

sung by a tired choir in

tunes that were flat with accusation

sharp with prickles of fear

who do you think you are

you are no one

you are nothing

you are just a girl

the refrain of your childhood

to be hummed and sung

shouted and whispered -

you are good

you are wise

you are loved

it will be written in your palms

embossed on your heart

you are good

you are wise

you are loved

now

and every tomorrow
