Wins like this give me HOPE

She had been married for fifteen years

Her memories included six miscarriages

scars to show the beatings on her skin

A gaze to tell she had had enough

She had finally had 2 babies

The first had been 8 

The second just turned 1

But nope she wasn't to survive the abuse

at least not without losing a part of her

Her first baby was raped over and over

By none other that a relative

As if that wasn't enough

The poor child was strangled

until she breathe her last

And when I read of the case

I reached out and offered to help

From both angles I did

Therapy and court with hope

I put dem all facts and evidence together

fasted and prayed and cried

Lord please help us

5 months was all it took

I didn't have to bribe no one

I looked up to the heavens

that day in court

when it was declared over

and her freedom was regained

That renewed my hope

Hope that it is all worth it

The early rises

and the late bedtimes

the long hours in sessions

hugging and wiping tears

Indeed such fill me with so much hope

I really am grateful for all the talents and knowledge I have; do not give up dear sister because #thereishope
