Children are the future
and what will the future be?
If parents are abusers
what will their children see?

They grow up believing that pain is normal
that fear is everyday life
And pass it on to their children
unless wrongs are made right.

Until a caring soul reaches out
and takes them by the hand
and teaches them that someone cares
and will help them take a stand.

If you know the pain and fear
and you have been through hell
It's very hard to open up and share
you feel there's no one to tell.

So if my friends, you know a child
who can't any future see,
please take his hand and listen
and a friend to them, always be.

Don't ignore their pleading looks,
or subtle hints of trouble
Take a look and see what's there
and help them, ON THE DOUBLE!



 God bless you all. :-)

Yes, children are the future. I can't understand why people want to destroy them like they do. This is a very good poem.

Love and hugs,

Achicade,
  Children need to be protected and loved unconditionally, We must not turn our heads and let abuse continue. Good thoughful handling of a delicate subject! Nice Work!

Today on a bumper sticker I saw a saying, "It's easier to grow healthy children, then repair broken adults."  Your poem reminded me of it.  Thankyou for addresses something a lot of people place on the back burners..

 MAY THE ROAD RISE TO MEET YOU,
MAY THE WIND BE ALWAYS AT YOUR BACK
MAY THE SUN SHINE UPON YOUR FACE
THE RAINS FALL SOFT UPON YOUR FIELDS
AND, UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN,
MAY GOD HOLD YOU IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND

Irish Blessing
