A Stepping Stone
Surviving Domestic Violence
This is a stepping stone of your life
A time to move on and claim your rights…
The right to be loved, cherished
and happily doing you.
A time to express yourself ---
independent and true.
A time to rejoice and breathe –
sit back and relax.
Move at your own speed
and let the money stack.
This is a stepping stone of your life –
A time to make things happen
without drama and petty fights.
A time to look in the mirror and smile,
Instead of crying your eyes out
for a little while.
A time to kiss your children
and let them know,
it’s okay to play again.
This is a stepping stone of your life ---
Believe that God knows this time is right—
Right to smile, right for success,
right for you to be your best.
