Overcome

on the other side of the world,

there are kids.

kids who want to be loved.

who at one point,

were never loved. 

their mother hung herself.

they were thrown out of a car by their parents and run over.

their parents were drunk.

their Mom was stabbed by their Grandma.

they don’t know who their parents are.

no one wants them. 

their Dad died from a heart attack.

stories. 

reasons not to hope. 

hurt and pain.

unloved. 

orphan. 

on the other side of the world,

there are caregivers, 

parents,

people who want to love. 

who at one point,

could barely see the light of the other side.

they lost a daughter-someone they loved. 

they were hurt.

in prison.

drugs.

violence. 

drinking. 

REDEMPTION. 

on the other side of the world, 

there are stories to be told. 

kids who believe in hope, 

something bigger than hurt. 

these kids are loved. 

they have stories of redemption. 

not stories of hurt, pain, and being unloved. 

they have overcome. 

He has overcome.
