Tears flow like water

Pouring over rapids

Rough and raging

Briefly slowing until

They hit the rocks again

Determined to wear down

All that lies beneath

Like a cascading waterfall

Tumbling down into despair

They disappear….

Merely a drop

In the sea of sorrow

Cry

Sweet child

Let them see

Innocent eyes

Not understanding

Let tears flow freely down

I will shelter you from harm

And never let you fall from grace

For their light is much too dark to shine

But, your light shines much too brightly to dim

 

Author’s Note: Nearly 700,000 children are abused in the U.S annually. An estimated 683,000 children (unique incidents) were victims of abuse and neglect in 2015, the most recent year for which there is national data. About four out of five abusers are the victims’ parents. A parent of the child victim was the perpetrator in 78.1% of substantiated cases of child maltreatment. (Info via National Children’s Alliance).  If you know of a child who is being abused, please…say something.  Calls can be anonymous!

June Writing Prompt – And to the eyes of an innocent there was nothing odd about him/her – Day 11/30

Dry your tears, baby girl, and reach up to the sky

God will be your guiding light, set your spirits high

Speak to Him today, let Him take away your sorrows

Then speak to Him again, and all of your tomorrows

Do not worry, baby girl, everything’s been planned

Let the sadness disappear, into God’s almighty hands

Smile, my baby girl, let no more tears be shed

Just look up to Heaven, let His light shine through, instead

Tumultuous, the clouds as they sigh,

Gray, like days, they go drifting by

Black, as a moonless, starless night,

Water from my eyes, blurs my sight

Cascading down, perhaps in vain

Are they my tears or just the rain?
