My little hands to hold you, my voice to sing praises to you only, my heart full of joy and wonder pleased by your smile when you hold me. Mommy please don't hurt me, I promise to be good. The closets are so dark, no more paddles made of wood. No daddy don't touch me there, it doesn't feel right, please stop you're hurting me, now I fear the night. Will no one speak out for me? will no one stop the pain?...Death would be sweeter than this loss off innocence and whwn I grow up will I do the same? Won't you please protect me, cherish, love me and allow me a safe place to grow and learn. Unconditional love is what I will offer in return.
In every city in America a woman is hit every 30 seconds, a child beaten every 4 hours, and on average each day 4 children die of child abuse or neglect. 90% of all attacks on childrn are by someone they know and trust. 3x as many cases go unreported and over half are preventable by someone speaking out. In the time it took you to read this 4 women were beaten, 2 rapes occurred, and someone saw a child abused and turned the other way. By this time Tomorrow someone died. What did you do to save an angel today? Abuse is everyone's problem...Silence makes you just as guilty. Some have no voice won't you join me in being one.
It only takes one voice to make a difference. What difference did you make today? Just a thought.
