My Blame and Shame

Allegations of Injury to a Child-Bodily Injury they say… I am “no bill” to this day Still suffering the aftermath of it all …just as I said it all begin from one call Child Protective Services heard what I had to say Uhmm! Stating that “everything was going to be ok” Nah! Not the case, I was arrested on the above charge I did not know why All because my husband told a lie This poor child was in the system when I married his father in 2004 When back in the system they did ignore Somebody somewhere beat that poor child to death Imagine how he really, really felt Not being able to protect himself from it all Again, I was accused just from one call The child was not in the home during the alleged crime Not even attending a school in our district at the time CPS released the child to my husband’s mistress, how and why He called her to go to the school at which point they both denied Yep, they pinned this horrible crime on me and no other Just so that they could plot to be together I really hope that they are happy now and forever I forgive them…stoop to their level? I will never! GOD will protect that poor child since he can’t do it alone …oh and his father who want for heavens sake admit he is wrong Thank you heavenly father for guiding me through I must give credit where credit is due I pray O Lord protect that child in his growing years And please O Lord, remove all of his fears Let him grow in peace Dear Lord Spite everything his father done don’t let them grow apart A life lesson I learned from in deed Please O Lord, help that child with his every need Remove all hate from heart, mind and soul Let him (Tommy Daniels, Jr) grow up WHOLE AMEN

WHoa this is a poignant write! Life sure can be very difficult when people take to telling lies and the system is incompetent to investigate fully. Well written piece Jackie!
