The Reverse Side Of An Angel

Such a darling she was with long golden curls,
bubbling in joy as does little girls.
Eyes sparkling and a smile so bright and free,
what happened to that little angel that was once inside of me .

Now sitting quietly afraid to stay alone,
so afraid in her very own home.
Cries for no reason her mother becomes confused,
she asks her over and over again honey what did you do.

Underfoot all the time her Mom starts getting upset ,
go play in the living-room I have work to do yet .
She slowely backs away and yet never turns to leave ,
and in her softest of voice she whispers not to be heard  he hurts me.

Unheard by the ears she so relied upon,
the person she felt could free her from this wrong.
Her Mom in time turns and replies stay with Daddy I will be right back ,
and she clings to her mom and cries I go only she hears the door latch.

It was only a moment she heard him come her way,
she turns ever so slowly and replied no Daddy not today.
Mommies coming back soon then she heard his low gravely voice,
mommy knows honey and this is how little girls gets new toys.

The reverse side of and angel ,
eyes now dim no sparkle there.
Her hair all mussed and her smile she never shares.
When her Mom returns she runs to her side ,
and her mother never sees her tear stained eyes.

One day she was talking to her mom so innocently,
I am getting a new toy today from Daddy wait and see.
Her mom turned and asked her it's not your birthday today!
Then in a soft whisper she replied cause daddy said I would if I let him play.

She dropped the dish she was drying there,
all of a sudden she had become so aware .
She took her little angel within her arms and cried,
and she whispered in her ear why didn't you tell mommy
"she replied I tried".

Sick are the people who feed upon the child ,
they can be the brother the father the priest the friend all the while.
Watch your angel always and you can see it in their eyes ,
if they have been molested at any time.

But for those who never chooses to see ,
leaves that little angel with unheard pleas.
Lost in a world in pain and so abused,
the angel that was left in trust to you .

Stop the child abuse by being there for your children
listen to every word they say to you and always look them in the eyes. Watch for any unusual sudden changes in their behavior and save them from the sick people of today.
 If you have a live in boyfriend do not leave that child there for him to tend to ever. And if there is abuse within your family leave not that child with them to tend to ever. ASave the angels of today
