A Child Left Broken Dreams

No words could ever find a way,

to still the silent screams,

nor wash the pain left long behind...

a child left broken dreams.



An anguish looms on certain days,

those seasons for the heart.

Reminding how one bitter fruit,

nigh tore a home apart.



Not unrelenting care nor love,

would matter so it seems,

with hell-bent rage, so deeply felt...

a child left broken dreams.



A decent conscience turned aside,

not caring right from wrong,

bore single-goaled deceitfulness,

and quelled a mothers’ song.



There are no words that fill the void,

to stifle anguished screams,

nor fade the scars of endless hurt...

a child left broken dreams.

And adults forget so easily how much it hurts when those dreams are broken. This is a keeper.
