So Far Away


(For My Sister)


I wish I could have been there
To wipe away all of your tears
I wish I could have been there
To get rid of all of your fears

You were my baby sister
How could I protect you
He took you so far away
I didn't know what to do

I worried so, it made me sick
Tossing and turning everynight
Not knowing what he was doing
I had hoped that you were alright

Then you came home that time
After he had beaten you
Telling us what he had done
I wanted to hurt him too

That's very touching.  I'm sorry to hear such things happened the way they did.  Your write is great.

Don't hold back the words you really mean.

(tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Sue, this is soooooo terribly heartbraking, sweet friend, my heart cries out to your sister for I don't understand how some people can be so cruel like that, your sister never deserved to suffer any of that and I pity who abused her like that! (wipes tears) My heart cries out to you and your sister, sweet friend, I kow if one person can help her, it is you, for you are a true angel and your love for her and so many others is golden! (BIG HUGGGSSSSSSS OF SYMPATHY) God Bless You, sweet friend, you both are in my thoughts, we all love you so much!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

It hurts to see anyone getting hurt like that, especially your own sister. Encourage her to stay far, far away. there are many gentle gentlemen out there. No need to lie down with a dirty dog.

This is so sad Sue. Nobody should ever have to endure that kind of treatment. I echo what Kacy said. I sure hope she’s safe from harm now.

   Thank you for your kind comment.

Mistletoe Angel
   Don't cry, Noah! She is safe now.

Midnitesun and Tracey
   She does stay away from him, now. She finally divorced him after 24 years of marriage.

SweetSuzieQ~
How very touching is this write~
We can only 'help' when we know ...
Thank the good Lord she is safe now~

A poignantly written reminder that women do NOT have to suffer in silence !

I'm sure your sister will help spread the word, and your poem is a loving gesture to her~  I know she appreciates your love~
