Powerful imagery invoked in this write. I've been listening to the song 'Hell is for Children' by Pat Benatar lately and this poem brought much the same emotion into my mind when I read it.

Extremely diffcult to pen,,, I know, but you penned it perfectly. And though you may feel alone, you are not! The tears and pain, the fears and udying memories are shared by so many little girls. Me being one. you expressed this horrible reality so well. For the sake of a justice we must wait for til God's hand wields it, please keep writing! Bless You for your strength!

Innocents lost and pain like scars unhealed...
This is a very powerful reflection of how cruel life can be...
You have expressed the pain well...

Stark reality of horror and truth expressed in these verses, Linda. Incredibly. I'm listening to J.D. Sumner and the Stamps' "Hold On To God's Unchanging Hand." Quite a coincidence I think. I send you love and peace. Regis (P.S. I only met J.D. Sumner's music very recently through my association with a chorus that I joined. The director is an angel.)

I had to get my second marriage annulled as she could never come to terms from being abused from 6.

Well spoken. It messes them up for life, and other lives they can get a kick out of doing real bad stuff to others, not realising the hurt they cause, whilst they go into denial..
