A little girl on bended knees.
She asks Santa why doesn`t anyone love me?

I try to be good most of the time.
But sometimes I do get out of line.

My parents don`t love me I know this to be true.
They`re always saying what were we thinking when we had you?

Santa please find me somewhere else to stay.
Sometimes they`ll beat me once or twice a day.

Santa knew he couldn`t do this all alone.
He would need God to find this little girl a home.

God answered this little girls prayer.
A wonderful couple took her out of there.

She is now in a home filled with so much love.
Everyday she thanks Santa and God up above.

(tears fall down my cheeks) God Bless that sweet little girl, I'm so happy she got a loving family to watch over her and love her! (sad sigh) I burst in tears reading this to feel the sorrow and pain and abuse she had, but only smiling in the end to see her loving foster parents hold her close and love her with cheer. (sigh) God Bless You, sweet Juanita, we all love you so very much! (kiss on cheek) You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Juanita, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Juanita,
Used to do Child Protective Service work. A flood of memories you resurrect here. Lovely write and for once a lovely ending. Bless you.

This is so touching. Really makes one stop and think, doesn't it.

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?

Juanita darling girl I cannot believe it NOW YOU'VE joined Keth in making me sob, How could you????

Okay this is wonderful writing and it has a happy ending BUT darling girl how treacherous of you. I don't know, its a conspirousy that's what it is. I'd fill this up with lots of weeping pics but I can't do that anymore. So I'll just have to think about getting my revenge. It's no use you hiding behind Lyra darling girl I'll find you see if I don't. This means a duel I'll be back later with my dueling piece prepare to surrender

Juanita darling girl I've not forgotten I got distracted with Mistletoe and kisses but the duel is still on.

And you have plenty of your own talent kid, you don't need any of mine. But don't think I don't know what you're trying to do, and don't think you can get out of it by being a darling, you can't. You just knew I wouldn't forget didn't you. I'll be back soon
