Dedicated to
'Anastasia'
GIVEN BY GOD AS THE JOY OF OUR LIFE
AND KNOWING ONLY TO LOVE
ACCEPTING ANYTHING WE HAVE TO OFFER,
THIS LITTLE GIFT FROM ABOVE.
THEN ONE DAY IT STARTS WITH A HIT
AND THE CHILD LEARNS VERY FAST.
THEY CHANGE AND ADAPT AND TRY TO PLEASE
BUT THE PLEASING DOESN'T SEEM TO LAST.
AGAIN AND AGAIN FROM THIS LOVED ONE THEY HURT
NOT KNOWING WHAT THEY HAVE DONE WRONG.
THE 'PUNISHMENT' CONTINUES AND SO DO THE TEARS
AND GOD KNOWS THEY CANNOT LAST LONG.
SO HE MUST LOOK DOWN FROM HEAVEN ABOVE
AND END THIS ANGELS PAIN.
WITH ALL THE BRUISES AND BROKEN BONES....
IT'S TIME TO START AGAIN.
IN ONE MOMENT OF ANGER THE LOVED ONE STRIKES
AND THEN THE CHILD IS GONE
THEN THE WORLD NOTICES AND TURNS TO ASK
WHAT HAPPENED OR WHAT WENT WRONG?
NO ONE CARES, WELL MAYBE A FEW
THEN SOMETHING OR NOTHING MAY CHANGE
BUT NOT 'TOO DRASTIC' OR 'POLITICALLY INCORRECT'
JUST WITHIN AN ACCEPTABLE RANGE.
THEN TIME PASSES AND ALL SEEMS FORGOTTEN
BUT ABUSE CONTINUES EVERYWHERE.
LET'S JOIN TO STOP THIS TRADGEDY NOW
CAN WE? OR DO WE DARE?
NEXT TIME YOU HEAR THAT A CHILD HAS DIED
FROM NEGLECT OR ABUSE AT HOME,
REMEMBER THAT A 'LOVED ONE' DID IT
AND FOR THIS THEY WILL ATONE.
BUT FOR NOW THERE ARE LAWS AND COURTS THAT
HELP
BUT THEY ARE ONLY SO STRONG.....
WE MUST GET TOUGH AND PROTECT OUR KIDS
BEFORE ALL THE ANGELS ARE GONE.
