My dedication describes this poem - Love should not hurt. There is hope. Excuses are just that, excuses and they are empty. There is no reason for anyone to raise their hand in anger against anyone. This is unacceptable.

Dedicated to women that are stuck in an abusive relationship. True love
should not hurt. Abuse is a disease and the abuser needs help. Have the
courage to help them while helping yourself. There is HOPE.

As parents we raise our kid to bring joy in our life. How tragic that at the blow of a sword so many lives are affected.

Dedicated to those who have lost loved ones to war.

Secrets kept oftentimes are because of love - being afraid that someone else will have to pay if you tell, and willing to sacrifice to save the one you love...
