Book I: Through Darkness and Thorns
Chapter IV: Holding Hands Along the Path

 

Healing Hands

Healing hands
along the path help me find
courage strength and self respect to
conquer the pain, tears and broken hearts,
breaking the cycle of generations of
alcoholism and abuse.

Healing Hands
along the path
A healthy way
Safe circle and goddesses
knowledge and freedom.

Healing Hands
along the path
Mom, Dad, brother and friends
show me the courage and sensitivity
to survive life.

Healing Hands
began the path in the safety of
Pinky Bear.
Later, it’s my courage and strength.
