I TOLD……

 I was 2 ½ years old, innocent and pure.

And going through things no child should endure.

I wanted my Mommy but the court said “No.”

Daddy’s and Nanny’s is where they said I must go.

I love my Daddy but something’s not right.

He did things to hurt me almost every night.

I couldn’t talk too well then and kept things inside.

But soon I could tell what I once had to hide….

Now, today things are better- God will heal my small soul.

I’ve learned some new words and finally…. I told, I told.
