Description
"I Got Flowers Today"
I got flowers today.
It wasn't my birthday or any other
special day.
Last night we had a fight and
he hit me,
But I know he is sorry
Cause I got flowers today.
I got flowers today,
And It wasn't any special holiday
Last night he threw me against
the wall and started to choke me,
But I know he's sorry,
Cause I got flowers today.
I got flowers today.
It wasn't any special day.
I was swollen and bruised and I
was ashamed to answer the door for
my best friend . But I know he's sorry,
Cause I got flowers today.
If I try to leave him, it just gets worse.
But I'm afraid to leave, But I
know he's sorry
Cause I got flowers today
I got flowers today
As my family and friends filed by my
casket to see me
Asking why I never left him.
If I only had the strength and the
courage to, but I didn't,
So I got Flowers today
For all those victims still suffering and believing it is their fault - it is not
I am a survivor You can be too Learn from the tragedy
thanks for looking
and please spare a thought for all those who remain victims and don't sit in silence if you believe it is happening to someone you know

SHE GOT FLOWERS TODAY... because he's sorry... AND THEN? This is a tremendous situation for a person to know what to do BUT DON'T HAVE THE INNER-STRENGTH to act. To recognice is the first step; to help is difficult. To be there is important. To understand is important. It needs a long time to leave; i know a women who needs 25 years. If she now got flowers today she can enjoy.

Oh this brought tears to my eyes thank you thank you for doing this for her. I will send this to the the people that new her if you don't mind.I have read every comment and it does help to make people aware and it helps people to talk about abuse as well. She died so young. Thank you from the bottom of my heart (V) Cathy xooxox

Chris - you have taken my breath away!!!!! Yes - great joy that these situations can be overcome and that a better life can follow (as it has done for you) - but also great sadness for those who do not break free and those who believe they have nothing better to break free to! They do not speak out as you have here for they have nothing to celebrate! Once again you use your art to convey so much more than mere pretty pictures! Well done :o)

I'm sorry to hear about your friend. :( Prayers and condolences go out to her family. May God help bring her family peace. And May God watch over your friend in Heaven. And May God help those who do abuse to turn around and become saved, and help guide them so they do not abuse anyone else or hurt anyone else. I'm sorry to hear you went through this as well. But I'm glad you're safe. And I hope your ex-spouse finds peace and doesn't hurt anyone else, or you. I'm also sorry to hear that it is still a problem. This is so sad. May this help make people more aware, and may this help in making sure others pray for those who are going through this, as well as for everyone. Your render is so sad, but a moving tribute. Thanks for sharing. May God Bless you all!!!!!!

Beautiful image and dedication... very moving

The portait is awesome and more than up to your high standards, but it is the words that really got me. Incredibly powerful poem, and what saddens me most is that it still happens, everyday, all over the world. Like yarddog I hope the right people see this - both men and women! - and break the spiral of violence. For the brilliant portait, and for the urgent message, vote.
