Love is a Mighty Shield

I fed them with my Love, thinking I could protect them; my family, friends, flowers. My swans and rabbits and talents. Love is a mighty shield. My mother and brother bore the brunt of my father’s rage and I could not protect them. My father was a bear of terror (my mother poked and provoked). Un-caged, unhinged, unstoppable, while Jesus sat quietly in church, preparing for resurrection. I did not want to trouble him. Jesus fed multitudes from nothing, yet I could not feed myself.
