The little face, the look of lost
innocence,
Her large brown eyes, now having
been dimmed;
Reflects the result of ultimate
betrayal..
The shattering of trust.. that we
all placed in him.
So many lives are left in many
pieces now,
Some beyond repair, and with all
hope gone;
To think that this little child had
to pay that price..
Is a tragic mystery to me.. and
much more beyond.
The years of abuse had left its
evil mark,
She wonders what she has done
wrong;
"Please, Mommy, why are you
always crying..
Why is your heart now so devoid of
song?"
Her questions joins the ranks of
the other
Victims that will always share in
her shame;
The children of abuse, their lives
forever shattered..
In some cases...not knowing who to
blame.
Our hearts feel the burden this
child is carrying,
Too young to understand the
cruelties of man;
Our prayer? That she will once
again learn to trust..
That the sparkle in her eyes will
eventually return.
(Dedicated to every child of abuse)
