Book IV: After the Flood
Chapter V: Reaching Out to Smooth and Polish


Comfort

No longer fear, a hand will be here.
No more shame, no more blame.
If life is unmanageable or you think no one cares,
visit this monument,
find someone that shares
painful experiences
and feelings you have had.
It’s ok to be angry,
It’s ok to be sad.
Feelings come and go.
This monument will stay
and show comfort and freedom
from abuse denied.
We acknowledge
Those who died.

...never ever give up
You to recover is our wish.
You think no one cares …


Linda Beaudoin
