A Child's Forgiveness

A child's forgiveness for abuse.


  My small bones are broken, my body is bruised.

I'm no longer loved. I'm just being used.

 They say I fall alot, I can't stay on my feet.

Can't your blind eyes see that I've always been beat?

 I'm too young to tell what you don't want to hear, so I suffer in silence and hide all my fears.

 But when I grow up I'm going to love everyone, and never hurt feelings or do as they've done.

 And I'll pray for the people who've hurt me this way;

That they'll stop all the hurting and learn how to pray.

 

Connie Gunn  1997
