You can Yell, Scream, and Holler.
BUT...
A child's love never changes.
You can Hit them, Beat them or
Belittle them.
AND STILL.....
A child's love never changes.
You can Leave them, Push them away,
or do Wrong to their little Souls.
YET...
A child's love never changes.
SO.....
Why don't you "Stop" Hitting,
Beating, Screaming, Yelling,
Leaving them and just Love them.
AND THAT IS WHEN.....
You will see the Great love
that you child Holds.

Absolutly wonderful
Yvonne...This is a very well done piece but I do have to say that I have seen a child lose all hope and have seen a child lose all hope of being love and have so much hatered for their parents. Sometimes a child is ruined beyond repair and no matter how much intervention or love given...there is no healing. Love too late is sometimes a life lost. I wish it worked the way your poem speaks all the time. But when a child loses their love sometimes it never comes back, they never had the chance to know how to recieve love so they never learn how to give it! ~Laura

Jenn,
You don't have to disagree. You got exactly what I was saying in the poem. As children we don't know any better but when we get older that is when we realize that something is wrong in our lives. I wrote this from a personal point of view also. I am just now getting the relationship with my own mother the way I should have as a child myself. It is hard to get over verbal abuse. -

i disagree with this. i suppose that for a young chld this is true... because no matter how you treat them, they will love you because they dont know any other way and because they depend on you. 5 year old chilren dont run away because they have not yet learned how...but once they reach the age of like 10, they start to feel neglected or hurt.
while they live with you, they might seem to love you, but it is after they leave, when they no longer depend on you, that they will not talk to you anymore because you hurt them as a child...
im only 17, but i feel resentment towards my parents because i have always been pushed away.. im incredibly independant now, which is great, but my relationships with my parents and other people are less than wonderful....
i dont mean to knock this poem, but it kinda hit me personally :)
but, i guess i do agree with you at the end :)
