For every child who cries at night
Alone with shame and pain and fright
For every child who wants so much
To only feel a gentle touch
For the beaten child, who cries in pain
Whose tears run silent, like falling rain,
For the child used to satisfy lust
Who never learns to love or trust
For the child taken from his home
And made to feel so all alone
For the child whose home is just a shell
Where life becomes a living hell
For the child who smiles but cannot feel
Because of scars too deep to heal
For every child who yearns for love
I hope and pray to the Lord above
To hear your cries and heal you pain
And give you back your life again.

Amen.
This is one of the most powerful things I have read in a long time.

My heart goes out to all children who suffered at the hands of people who should be teaching them how to trust. To those children, the words'I survived' becomes their whole goal. I hope we celebrate each one who does survive.
I saw the tag Myrddin-y-gwyllt somewhere. Are you Welsh?

Thank you Tracie. I was really moved when I read this. I did not write this myself, I do not know who did (hence unknown).
Rhia, Yes I am Welsh :-) @Myrddin_Y_Wyllt (Merlin The Wild)
