Battered Child (She fell)

by Donna   Dec 18, 2009


In a hospital room their she lay . Fighting for life . One more time
So tiny and innocent. . As they lied once again.
How she fell down those stairs . Too young to even tell..
One so innocent . How could any one hurt .Her so young.
So tiny so small . Smiles off joy that lit up a room.
How he shut her up . He threw her down the stairs .
What should one do . We saw it all too.
Scared to speak . Don't want to get involved . What should we do.
Please don't be silent . Don't turn away . Or pretend not to see
Don't be scared . It could be one of yours . You can change this day
Our world now . So much pain . So much hurt . All unexplained.
It one like you. That can make it change. Be seen be heard.
Speak out now .Before its too late .Another hurt child.
You can prevent .We have the power...to make it true .
So make the difference. Don't be scared.
Speak out now .For all that's unsafe.
