Innocence Waiting ~*Marge Tindal*~  Sometimes inside an angry man there is a seething soul Where dormant embers of discontent rage suddenly out of control  Blown by gusty winds of fate igniting sparks across a land Driven into innocence waiting wreaking havoc with merciless hand  Full-blown fury stalks the night churning without forewarn No time to caution innocence waiting No shelter from the storm  Innocence waiting in candlelight struck down in swiftest fashion Such evil lurks in ebony heart denying crime of passion  Each of us can, and should, make a difference in the life of a child. We must be more diligently alert. http://www.preventchildabuse.org/chapters/locator.html Take your heart - and take a look. ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Marge, As adults, as feeling human beings, it is our duty to take care of the little ones, to listen when they speak, always be a good example and protector of these most precious ones. Thank you, sincerely, for this very special poem. Michael Proust- |

SEA~ When the line 'Sometimes inside an angry man there is a seething soul' came to me, I didn't know what I was supposed to do with it ... I guess I wrote my heart ... So glad it touched you. BloomingRose~ Thank you, dear lady. There needs to be more awareness to protect them. SoaringEagle~ You already know how my heart anguishes over the innocence taken from the little ones. Thank you for holding my tears. Love you. EnchantedMelody~ I have to share. Pleased to have touched others. Denise~ Thank you, my friend. Michael~ Awareness is the best protector they could have. Thank you. Kit~ Thanks, hon. Lord knows the stories in today's news let me know why this one came to me. *Thank each of you for taking this one to heart. It moves me knowing that we can make a difference. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Marge, this is incredibly beautiful for these poor little children. In Tx, they recently found an 8 year old girl locked in a closet, she is the size of a three year old.. Parents like these are criminals and should be tossed into a large pit and buried alive. Sorry folks just emotional when it comes to kids. Thank you Marge for your beautiful heart..... May your dreams always dance to the rhythm of a lover's heartbeat... |

Excellent poem, Margie! The content may be strong, but it needed to be said. I am a survivor who protects her children fiercely. Thank you for posting this. My only regret is that I didn't read it sooner. *hugs* ~Tier |

I see the scars among my friends That come from stolen innocence. Potential saviors chose silence And another soul was damned to death. Yes, there's pain from involvement But your time and effort spent May be the only difference Between a life of hope and living death. To turn away from a child in need Is to condone the dirty deed. I hope you don't mind the path my mind took, Marge... your poem filled me with feeling. Beautiful work, dear lady. |
