 When I awoke this morning You were beside me in our bed You looked so sweet and so harmless But then my heart began to dread As I remembered the last moments Of a seemingly endless night I'm amazed that I'm still living You had beat me with all your might. When I awoke this morning A nurse was standing by my bed I looked so bad from your last beating I almost wished that I were dead But then my heart quickly remembered My little ones crying out in fear Now I have to find a safe place To take my kids when I leave here. When I awoke this morning My mom was standing by my bed She said that you were coming over And that you sounded very mad But then I quickly remembered About a safe place we could go So I fled with my children To a place we did not know. When I awoke this morning My children were beside me in the bed They weren't crying and fearful But quietly playing instead Then I suddenly remembered I was safe and unafraid I'd found a shelter for my family And strength to face another day. When I awoke this morning All alone in my bed I remembered the hard times briefly But lingered on the good instead I have found a new home for us Free from violence and fear And everyday I'm truly thankful That there was help so very near. |
