CHILD ABUSE

The struggle of abused children.

A little girl stepped to me one day

And asked for my family will you pray?

I asked what do you need me to pray for

She whispered, for my father not to hit me anymore.

 

As I looked around the room

I tried to figure out which man caused this innocent life doom.

She pointed and said it is he!

We went to an corner and fell to our knees.

I asked the Dear Lord to set this child free from her abuse

While praying I found myself bemused.

 

Thinking of many words while I prayed

Mostly of the little girl who was so afraid.

Her hands shaked uncontrollably during her session with God

I did all I could not to prod.

 

As soon as prayer finished she thanked me and walked away

I would have given anything for her to stay.

Her abuser looked me dead in the eye

I did everything not to cry.

 

I did not want to expose what she said

For fear, she would end up dead.

There so many children suffering from abuse at home

Suffering from broken self esteems and bones.

Their silent cries are never heard until it's too late

Not until the day each meets their fate.

 

PLEASE STOP.....CHILD ABUSE!
