ANOTHER CHILD ATTACKED

two sisters walking to school

young care free happy go lucky

not one care in this world

and that is the way it should be

two sisters walking along

until they come to where they must split up

each going their seperate ways

the older making it to school

no problems arising along her path

sadly enough not the same for her baby sister

only eight years old walking alone

a man lurks behind on a bicycle

moments later he pulls up

engages her in conversation

what this must have felt like

an adult taking time to talk 'to' her

after some idle talk he leads her into the woods

what came next should never happen to our children

"Another Child Attacked" the leading story on the news

seems that after leading this young girl into the woods

he forced himself on her with such violence

that poor baby had to have emergency surgery

another soul forever scared by such a careless individual

may God bless this little girl and may this sort of crime stop

it just has to be stopped children should never have to deal with this pain

Author's Notes/Comments: 

god bless our children......

Renee', that breaks my heart. It is so hard to be a mother because every child becomes your child. You are so caring.

Dear Renee, Hi! This is so emotionally touching. I have two nieces. One is eleven and the other thirteen. If any person touched them in that way I would kill them. I have no regards for the sick people that prey on our children. They have no regard for these innocent young children. I think we should cut off... Hope I am not saying too much. Well written. Thanks for sharing. Love Truffels

Hi Renee This was such a sad piece. I thought of my three children as I read through. How can anyone ever do anything like this to innocent children is beyond me! It touched my heart and soul deeply. Thanks for sharing. Roz :)

The content is so horrific, but true. Clear and well-written, painting a portrait of two sisters. However, at the end I felt you switched to prose and your opinion. Let us come to our own conclusions! I'm sure they'll be the same as yours, okay?
