A little child cries at night Lost and all alone Her parents refuse to see the tears It's a home without a home Her daddy drinks away his pay Gambling through out the night Her mom works and doesn't look At the reasons for her fright Her daddys fist swings hard Connecting as she cries for help The little dog trys to save her Sadly she hides her welts Another family member comes to stay Her hope begins to fade By night she hides in the shadows By day she deals with rape Her tears begin to dry She finds strength within herself Taking the days one by one She quits asking for any help Struggling to survive Through the cold days alone She keeps a secret hope alive Looking for a home within a home. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It's not how much money you have, or how nice your house is, but how much love is inside the house that makes it a home...Be thankful for what ever you have, because there's always someone who doesn't share in your fortune...Thankyou.< !signature--> With a little piece of tomorrow, You'll have to kiss yesterday goodbye. Because today won't last forever, And the past will only make you cry. [This message has been edited by Broken_Winged_Angel (edited 10-26-2000).] |

"and as you do unto the least of mine, you do unto me." -Jesus Christ This piece is too sad to describe. Better a prayer than a critique. Too many frightened children locked up inside us. Peace the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost |

So sad...to not find love within a place that is supposed to be full of it. This is a stirring poem...well done, Angel, well done. --Little Girl  |

Sad, but a reality in our society. Great penmanship, though. Melton |

To all ... Sad, but true...yes.. Thankyou for posting your replies...and I only hope that if/when you have children, they all have a "home within a home" to live in...as I wish all of you did...Take care. Me. |

BrokenWingedAngel~ A very poignant piece. Sadly it happens to too many children. If praying could make it so - it would happen no more. Thanks for sharing this. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |
