what do you think of this............?????

Question

i wrote this for a woman whose husband was killed.. what are your thoughts...

I am a woman lost
For the love I knew is now a memory
My eyes are still like the night
I lay on the ground crying to the earth
Crying that heaven would hear my cries
Praying that somebody would hold me
Somebody would protect me from my fears
Shattered that I have to face this injustice
And smile when my soul is full of gloom
Challenged to make the most of what I have
But how can I when half of me is gone
I am awakened by visions of that fateful day
Wondering if this nightmare would ever stop
If my life will ever be the same
I despair, I cry, I fight
I want to give up
But I look around and see my children
For them I must survive
I have to survive and with them comes a second chance
To make a change.
