SARAH'S POEM
 
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.
 
Every day thousands of kids just like Sarah are killed at the hands of
One or both or their parents. I pray for child abuse to wither out and die,
but also pray for the safety of Our youth. 

The young ones cannot help
themselves....if you suspect a child is in danger, please do not look the
other way, we can make a difference. Please pass this poem on because as
crazy as it might sound, it might just indirectly change a life.


Hey, you! NEVER know. Please forward if you are AGAINST CHILD ABUSE


I received this in my mail this morning and thought it was worth passing on.
