| Reading this poem brought a tear to my eye (and that happens rarely in my crusty retired years). But it shouts out one of our shamefully hidden truths. Keep shouting, Linda. |

This poem is exceptional and has an expressive quality that no one would be able to write unless one had been there themself. It is an excellent poem. Keep writing and God Bless!

"A Little Girl's Cry"
There is much strength in this write.
It is sad very sad child abuse needs to be eradicated!
Thank you for sharing hope you do not mind me to visit this older work. I do not recall ever visiting, however I had been here for years but was unable to log into my site until last summer so that could explain how I am just finding this site.
I happy to have found it and wish all the best to you, btw I like your blog also.

| Very compassionate expression of such a sad, but unfortunately true subject! I don't think I will ever be able to understand how anyone could intentionally hurt another, especially a child! This soulful write has a very powerful impact! |

Linda,
That is such a powerful write. Personally, I feel that anyone who unjustly harms another human being, especially a child, should be tossed into the abyss. This really hit home hard. Thanks for sharing it with the world, and hopefully it may save someone’s soul and their life. Ever think about submitting it to the National Child Abuse Center? I am just beside myself as I stare at that fragile little human being, and realize the hell she must have endured. It is beyond reason why anyone would, or could do something like that. I say string him/her up, in the middle of town square, it will teach them a lesson, and maybe prevent someone else from being harmed. Thanks for your kind review.
Best of luck to you and yours,
Thomas

| I have heard that parents beat their children because of frustration of themselves as a whole human. Personally? I just think they do it because they can and it makes them feel good to hurt the weak. Does that make them feel better? Probably, in the perversion which is their mind. |

A poem I can relate too.
It has always torn me up to see a child abused in any way.
I'll never really understand how anyone can hurt something as precious and as pure as a child.
A very touching poem! |
