Never Again

Come lay down with me Let's snuggle awhile You've grown into a woman Beautiful just like your mom Those words she'll always remember They repeat in the back of her head So do the actions taken place The placement of his hands She was just a woman child Not yet fully grown He stole something special Left it shatter and torn She needed protection From the one who was protecting What a twisted way to think of life From a childs prospective Now she's all grown up Daughters of her own Never will this happen to them Never will they ever be left all alone She'll teach them that not everyone They know can be trusted Even the ones they hold in their hearts The ones who are supposed to be closest

What a beautifully written, yet very sad poem.. That's all we can do after this happens to us. Protect out children. I love the strength in this and the love of the mother for her children.
