Come Unto Me

This book is a collection of poems by the author about abused children, with a section for lullabies. The majority of mothers and fathers seek and reach out for the highest goals for their children. However, mothers bear most of the responsibility when the children are very young. Both the mother and father must be involved and share this responsibility. There is a strong bond between mother and child. However, some children fall by the wayside, and our hopes and dreams fall. Our reach is beyond our grasp. We do not always know why children are as they are. It may be the environment and its profound effect on children; it may be that the general personality orbit could be the attitude of the parent's abuse or allowing others to abuse them. As parents we can hope, dream, guide, have faith, love, and work constantly toward God's plan for all children to reach their goals or potential through guidance, example, and always, love and respect for their mother. This kind of introspect has led the author to write these poems about mothers, children, family, faith, love, hope, and other poems but especially about abused children. The lullaby section contains some suggested lullabies mothers may try setting to their own tune or innovating in song. It lulls the spirit to awaken the soul and mind to dream and to hope far beyond time and experiences untold. The voice is like an instrument, with many beautiful colors of time. It soothes the infant to sleep like soft melodies in a mother's arms--with love and contentment.
