Karon’s Story
May 14, 2008 | stories
Thank you for sharing your story. I wept when I read it. I found it by reading the interview on CBN — thank you for really good answers that were indepth and tangible - not just broad generics. This is a poem that I wrote -and of all the things that I struggle with, the one that’s the hardest and means the most is for me to be a better mom.
One Woman
by Karol Hansen
A girl so young
Her memory yet unformed
Suffered under abusing hands
Treated sweet for a time to tempt
Til finished and done
Then kicked with contempt
Rejected, unwanted, afraid, alone
Does anyone care…or is she on her own
Anger is her shield and secrecy her prison
Then comes a woman
To tell her of the One who is risen
Unaffected by the child’s anger
This woman loves and gives
She knows the child’s heart is in danger
She speaks with joy of the One who saves
For this teenaged girl
The road to salvation she paves
The girl accepts and believes
Around her heart a thread begins to weave
Though she believes, through the muck and mire she goes
Until the strand that never breaks
Has pulled her to her toes
She can do all things
through Christ her Saviour
this she knows
All because one woman, you see,
Stopped to talk to me
