Analysis of Her new life
Shawnie Sanchez 1993 (Redlands)
She woke up one morning wiping tears from her eyes,
She was done believing the hurtful lies.
She became bitter, angry, and depressed,
Every time she closed her eyes she’d take a deep breath.
She knew she suffering and just wanted peace and a calm place where she could think,
Then fell to her knees and began to hear someone speak.
This voice told her my daughter you shall suffer no longer
Just listen to me I will make you stronger.
She felt this over whelming peace and this love she never felt before,
She began her new life and he opened a new door.
He told her my daughter you no longer need to suffer for I am here,
I will never leave you nor forsake you I hope this is clear.
I’m your father I love you very much and I gave my son,
You are my precious jewel look in the mirror this is the new woman you’ve become.
She began to see her new self and began to cry
This is the beginning to her new life
