Little bruises upon their backs, small cuts and bones cracked, Innocent eyes with a heart to match, looks up with tears flowing in their eyes, Hear their stomaches ache, Hear their painful crys, Little hands that love and hug, Tender kiss of a babys love, Why must I hurt? Feel this pain? I am sorry, I won't do it again, Innocent eyes crying their tears, Innocent heart loving with fears, Little souls make mistakes, Patience is the key, Take a few steps back, Don't be so angry, This child is a gift, The innocence of their love, Was sent down from the father, Sent down from above, Angels they are, With hidden wings, For they know many things, Will tell their daddy in heaven, How they have been mis-treated, By the abuse and being neglected, So when you look into those innocent eyes, Think of God and how he cries, For your soul that is so mean, Maybe God should give you the same beating, If we always pictured it like that, Child abuse would end, And That my friend, would be enough of that! For each tear that is cried, God sees it, There is nothing to hide, When you look into those innocent eyes, Your looking at your self, Take a moment to reflect on the times you cried, Then you will see, What your doing to me, As you look into my innocent eyes  (DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU!)
