Beautiful Bed It has lace and flowers and so plain to see And oh how the pink and the white shines so brightly to me Just look how it lies so perfect and calm Untouched layers of satin to rest upon... I can't wait until nighttime just to rest my head And I can't wait to fall into that beautiful bed So pretty and peaceful I'll sleep good tonight And surround myself in such pink and white... Amen and watch over them and I closed my eyes I finished my prayer when I heard him walk inside Now God this can't happen I'm in a new place now But I leaned with the weight as he layed himself down... My hearts going fast and the tears won't end New place but same thing happening again Little girl you just don't know what you mean to me Now climb under the sheets so no one will see... I stared at the ceiling as I turned over to him I will surrender all hope and just give in God there's the hand that hurts all that I own Oh beautiful bed, another night, we are not alone... I feel here beside me why I am just so weak Cause beautiful bed I can't stand to hear him breathe And I've never known a kiss than my Daddy's ones Oh beautiful bed I hate what little boys become... Now little girl I'll show you what a grown up does Don't cry, little girl, it's all done out of love It hurts me more, little girl, then it will ever hurt you Oh beautiful bed you know that it hurts me too... Little girl here is what a grown up knows and does best And with extreme weight over me I found what comes next And there was the hand so no noise can be made Oh beautiful bed please make this grown man go away... Oh to what I really thought I would never again go through Never seen a beautiful bed so ugly as I felt it quickly move Oh beautiful bed how did I think your view could stop my rain And oh beautiful bed I could never look at you the same...

this poem has made my heartache..a tragedy so beautifully written with innocence (and horror)....and i pray for everyone of those children out there that suffer so horrendously......you did an amazing thing by talking about something so many people are afraid to confront.....good work |

This so good Saundra. You've struck exactly the right balance here to show how totally horrific this situation is. It's totally sad that this happens, and that it's not even a rare event. You can really be proud of this...  |

Saunni..... With all my heart, I will say that I admire what you did here!! You tackled a common (unfortunately) subject that most of us close our eyes to because we lack those particular words. This is the best I have yet to read, not just because of it's content and how you handled it, but because it was so tastefully written, thatI couldn't stop reading. And that, my friend, is the idea......if more people would keep reading, maybe we could eliminate this sickness. This should be published and spread around the world!!!!!! ~~~~~Live for Today~~~~~ taste every single moment |

Sad situation penned with with innocence, the touches of pink and white make it even more heart rendering. Corinne |
