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 10-30-2000).] |

you describe it so well, the feelings from a home without home.....and it hit home.... and you have right, material and being nice can't never take the place over from love. True love we can't buy, only share and make us feel home. thanks for sharing... (((warm hugs))) Charisma |
