When my Mommy does come home.
I'll try and be nice,
So maybe I'll get just
One whipping tonight.
Don't make a sound!
I just heard a car
My daddy is back
From Charlie's Bar.
I hear him curse
My name he calls
I press myself
Against the wall.
I try and hide
From his evil eyes
I'm so afraid now
I'm starting to cry.
He finds me weeping
He shouts ugly words,
He says its my fault
That he suffers at work.
He slaps me and hits me
And yells at me more,
finally get free
And I run for the door.
He's already locked it
And I start to bawl,
He takes me and throws me
Against the hard wall.
I fall to the floor
With my bones nearly broken,
And my daddy continues
With more bad words spoken.
"I'm sorry!" I scream
But its now much too late
His face has been twisted
Into unimaginable hate.
The hurt and the pain
Again and again
Oh please God, have mercy!
Oh please let it end!
And he finally stops
And heads for the door,
While I lay there motionless
Sprawled on the floor.
My name is Sarah
And I am but three,
Tonight my daddy
Murdered me.
There are thousands of kids out there just like
Sarah. And you can help.
It sickens me to my soul, and if you just read
this and don't pass it on I pray for your forgiveness,
because you would have to be one heartless
person to not be affected by this email. And
because you are affected, do something about it!!
So all I am asking you to do is take some time to
send this on and acknowledge that this stuff does
happen, and that people like her dad do live in our society,
and pray for child abuse to wither out and die, but also pray
for the safety of our youth.
Please pass this poem on as a Blue Ribbon
Against Child Abuse because, as crazy as it might sound,
it might just indirectly change a life.
Please forward if you are
AGAINST CHILD ABUSE * ~*~*
