BLUE RIBBON AGAINST Child Abuse

[zard]

BLUE RIBBON AGAINST Child Abuse; pass it on please!!


My name is Sarah

I am but three,

My eyes are swollen

I cannot see,



I must be stupid,

I must be bad,

What else could have made

My daddy so mad?


I wish I were better,

I wish I weren't ugly,

Then maybe my Mommy

Would still want to hug me.



I can't speak at all,

I can't do a wrong

Or else I'm locked up

All the day long.



When I awake I'm all alone

The house is dark

My folks aren't home.



When my Mommy does come

I'll try and be nice,

So maybe I'll get just

One whipping tonight.

Don't make a sound!

I just heard a car

My daddy is back..

From Charlie's Bar.


I hear him curse

My name he calls

I press myself

Against the wall.

I try and hide

From his evil eyes

I'm so afraid now

I'm starting to cry.


He finds me weeping

He shouts ugly words,

He says its my fault

That he suffers at work.


He slaps me and hits me

And yells at me more,

I finally get free

And I run for the door.

He's already locked it

And I start to bawl,

He takes me and throws me

Against the hard wall.

I fall to the floor

With my bones nearly broken,

And my daddy continues

With more bad words spoken.


"I'm sorry!" I scream

But its now much too late

His face has been twisted

Into unimaginable hate.


The hurt and the pain

Again and again

Oh please God, have mercy!

Oh please let it end!

And he finally stops

And heads for the door,

While I lay there motionless

Sprawled on the floor.


My name is Sarah

And I am but three,

Tonight my daddy

Murdered me.


There are thousands of kids out there just like Sarah. And you can
help.



It sickens me to my soul, and if you just read this and don't pass it
on I pray for your forgiveness, because you would have to be one heartless
person to not be affected by this email. And because you are affected, do
something about it!! So all I am asking you to do is take some time to
send this on and acknowledge that this stuff does happen, and that people
like her dad do live in our society , and pray for child abuse to wither
out and die, but also pray for the safety of our youth.



Please pass this poem on as a Blue Ribbon Against Child Abuse because,
as crazy as it might sound, it might just indirectly change a life.

Jesus H mother of God!!!! That has brought a big lump to my throat and tears to my eyes. I have never really put that much though into child abuse but that brings it home with a BIG slap to the face!!!!! I will be passing this on and I will do more for ANY child abuse charities that I see. Thank you for speaking for those who can't!!!!

sorry adam, my reply was to chris

 

[Adam]

No probs zard. That has woken me up big time to the though of these poor kids you hear about on the news that were murdered byt heir parents. I have always thought "how the hell could you do that to your own child???" Now it has brought home the reality of it!!!! I had a rough childhood but that makes mine seem like Disneyland.

where we live there is a home for kids, some of the stories just break your heart. They are good to them here though.
