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
