I cry for the little girl Bruised and alone Her mama hits her every day And her daddy's gone Look at my grave My soul screams from within Tell someone NOW Don't pay for their sin I cry for the little boy Who's hungry and cold No blanket on his bed Just a teddy bear to hold Look at my grave I was just like you Tell someone NOW You know what to do I cry for the children Beaten and abused Haven't you had enough Of being hit and used Look at my grave See my tortured face Tell someone NOW You could be in my place Talk to a teacher Or to a trusted friend Stop the abuse right now Let the hurting end Look at my grave I hid my bruises well I promised in my heart I would never tell I hid in the darkness Afraid of the light Don't be like me Stand up and fight Tell someone NOW You have a life to give It's too late for me But I want you to live � Linda Hill 2004

Never too late Linda, this is also a very poetic creative piece. As they say, it's not over till the lady sings. Standing up in life takes courage, if courage is found it's never too late. I'm witness to this, when I came to my weak point back some years ago, many years ago, I dug up the courage to finally really face myself once and for all.and to face this crazy world for what it truely is. No I didn't like everything I saw but it truly help me grow in a positive light. I've never looked back since that day 20 some years back because I faced the other option. Which I didn't like either. take care and ml. G
