It'S Ok to Be Broken Jill O'Brien

'I found these poems to be inspirational and powerful. They reflect the integrity of a lived experience, and as such they demonstrate an authentic and vital theology. I hope they may bring insight and help to others facing a similar life journey.'

Rev. Russell Davies Uniting Church Australia
A Child of God
An adult must always be kind
When dealing with a childs mind
For the messages a child receives
Can for a whole lifetime, deceive
The adult the child becomes


Or
The messages a child receives
Can enable the child to perceive
Blessings all through life
For it is a life-long battle to conceive
The small miracles in our lives


But
For damaged adults
There is hope
From someone higher than the Pope
Into His arms Christ will receive
To teach Truth and never deceive
The child the adult becomes
As a child of God
