Did you ever begin to wonder?
    What it would be like?
If a child didn't have to cry,
    to feel pain, sorrow,
       to feel empty?

For every child who cries at night
alone with shame and pain and fright.
For every child who wants so much
To only feel a gentle touch.
For the beaten child who cries in pain
Whose tears run silent like the rain.
For the child used to satisfy lust
Who never learn to love or trust.
For the child taken from her/his home
and made to feel so all alone.
For the child whose home is just a shell
where life becomes a living hell.
For the child who
smiles but cannot feel,
because of scars too deep to heal.
For every child who yearns for love
I hope and pray to God above.
To hear your cries and heal your pain
and give you back your life again.

CHILD ABUSE still runs rampant in our country.
It must stop!!!! God gave us children to love
and teach......NOT HURT!!!!
This is a cause really close to my heart. I know
it first hand and know the mental problems these
kids carry with them the rest of their life....
IF they live to be adults.
