The bruise upon her child's face fills her heart with pain and shame. Hers is not the hand that hit but still she was the cause of it. She chose to see her man because she had forgotten what he once was. Old memories had faded away as well as her poor choices made. She only wanted to remember a "holiday" family time together. Instead her child was in harms way new painful memories made that day. Scrapes and bruises can all be kissed but the hurt inside is often missed. She has hopes her child will forgive but fears her child will not forget, again, the child was not kept safe and in her mother, misplaced faith.
