Authors note: This poem was written for the beginning of a novel, ( as yet untitled), my daughter is penning! Can you tell how thrilled I am that she is writing?!
When once a tale, twas never told
A child was brought into the fold
Always knowing she was special
Unaware she was, of her inner devil
With powers to make the bold collapse
And let the meek fight back, perhaps
Elders let her find her way, never letting go
Of the magic, watching it take its course
Til it was time to let her know
Yes, the feelings she held, dark, inside her
Would open her heart, and guide her
To the wonders she would finally find
The ones she has hidden, deep in her mind

Will it ever end, the constant knocking
Of raindrops against window panes,
Like little ones trying desperately
To come inside, hoping to find warmth and safety
And let it snuggle them to its breast, comforting
The nightmares that challenge them.
Every night, the sin of the “other”,
Wraps itself in the blanket, stifling
The heartbeat of the child who lay there
Quietly, fearful, to speak a word, lest he
Or she feel the wrath of the storm
Perhaps it is not the skies raining at all
Perhaps it is the child, who knows not
What love really is, only what they were told
By the “other”, whose only love is a lie
Statistics regarding child sexual abuse can be found HERE, however, the Justice Dept. has not updated its records in five years. Shame on them. If you believe a child is in danger, please don’t hesitate…call the authorities. You could be saving a child’s life.
