When she was little she sat on his knee He showed her the difference between he and she When she was older she sat on his knee But he loved her was always his plea She could never understand what was wrong He had given her the words to that song Not to feel not to hear not to see This is what he taught her to be [This message has been edited by Mother_Earth (edited 06-25-2001).] |

this touches me in places deep for many reasons...and you know several of them... this is also a subject we would like to never have to face...but we must bring this kind of pain out in the open... Silence allows it to go on...and makes the victim a victim twice... much impact in a few lines M.E. only time, self forgiveness and the compassion to teach the child she/he did nothing wrong... can help heal the scars this leaves behind.. tho some wounds never heal all the way. |

Thank you, JM. I wish I had the magic wand to make all the pain go away. But it is not to be. I hope prayer will help the victims. |
