Sweet Slumber Poem

Longing to hold my angel Brooke ❤️- wrote the below on a midnight flight this week. Our faith in Jesus Christ is sustaining us in our grief.🙏

Sweet Slumber

Sweet slumber, unconscious blissful rest
Emotional pain seeps away into darkest night
Horrific abuse scantly buried, shallowly repressed
With anguish and fear silently takes flight

A few hours respite, the calm before the storm
Upon waking, the endless battle rages fierce
Relentless stabbing emotions and thoughts swarm
Wrenching mind and heart they deeply pierce

Escape, escape, escape shouts your whole soul
Abused shattered mind, spirals into the abyss
Relief at any cost, you’re losing all rational control
The day is won, destructive numbing urges you resist

Day after day, week after week, the cycle goes
Slowly, hope, joy and peace begin to blossom anew
A brighter future emerging from searing painful woes
Why so fleeting, anguished filled emotions ensue

Pained Heavenly Father and Mother gently reach through the veil
Anguish and pain forever flee as she’s tenderly caressed
Softly released from shattered mind, her final exhale
Sweet slumber, eternal glorious loving blissful rest

She’s finally FREE! ❤️
