The Rape of An Innocent Soul

Early in the cool morn
After the rain of night
Single raindrop reflects
The early soft sunlight

Across the sea so wide
In the darkest night hour
A little girl with dark
Black hair has no power

A single moist teardrop
Lays on her face so fair
Teardrop reflects sad plight
The bars of room so bare

One raindrop reflects grace
All the beautiful space
One teardrop reflects hate
On the face as he rapes

What a sad picture you paint of this little girl. I hate to see any child suffer so. If only there were a way to eradicate abuse. Genuinely moving poem, Sara! Love, Carolyn
