He was her Dad A loving, kind, and caring man, her comforter, protector big strong Daddy, All part of his twisted plan, most loving person that anyone had ever seen But with every touch and hug he plotted his perverted scheme. Just eight years old her innocence taken from her, Filled her with gifts and promises untold, Then came the threats I'll hurt your Mummy if you talk, for years and years the fear of Daddy's nightly stalks. He'll wake up nights and many times went to her bed, And though Mom saw him there the thought never entered her head, Just thought him loving and comforting his child, Too many times Mothers refuse to see the signs. Teenager now, and Daddy's hold is loosening, demands not met and lots of changes happening, Horray for her she called the Police turned him in, it didn't matter how far back no date or limitations. A few years he served but the damage is already done, Nothing on earth could give her back her innocence, Mothers beware, open your eyes and please observe, there's Monster Dads roaming through the universe, Sometimes your child needs protection from their own protector. Some Moms are just as bad, no better Well! that's another chapter!
