Written for the daughter of my best friend, my heart bleeding with tears.
_______________________________

We were not there to protect you,
we did not see at all.
What happened to you was always
done behind a locked door.

Never in a million years
are you to take the blame.
You will never need to think less of yourself
or hang your head in shame.

The night that your Mum phoned me
through tears she did confide.
How was she to help you
your inocence and your pride.

She asked me what to tell you
how to take away your pain,
How to explain what was done
was to be some one elses shame.

To remind you in the darkness
that there will always be a light.
To be the ones to hold you
and tell you it'll be all right.

I can not make promises
that your life will be a breeze
That as you grow older
you will not feel hurtful tears.

But as you work your way through them
comfort you will find
in remembering not in yesterdays
because tomorrow is what you will find.

Expressions,
are the most important aspects, they create impressions

I've started 3 different responses and yet I delete them. It will always be in the back of her mind wondering why it happened to her. She will always wonder did others know and just ignore. This is something that needs to be told. Yet it is so hard because those that need to see it don't think it would go on in their family.

I am sweating with the craving of more information. You baited me with this heart wrencher and left out what happened. Oh well. Probably for the best. Wishes for a better day out to the inspired and the inspirer.
