A Mother's Poem
Innocent Triggers
I saw a baby girl today
All in pink - there she lay
I could not breathe or even speak
Tears rolled quickly down my cheek
I ran away out through the door
I could hide the pain no more
My world was spinning round and round
My world was turning upside down
The tears dropped down and made a stain
But could not take away the pain
My mind went places I've tried to hide
But now no longer kept inside
All the things we've done and said
To keep our girl safe from dread
Just didn't matter on those days
He chose to take her innocence away
His selfish reasons I can't understand
He chose to take her trusting hand
And betray her over and over again
Till the world she knew came to an end
I used to think my arms were wide
And kept her protected and safe inside
I'd hold her and love her and build a wall
That no evil could reach even 10 feet tall
But no one knew the cracks of trust
Could make the wall turn to dust
She's a beautiful, loving and caring girl
It's just not fair what he did to her
The nightmares are sad and so are the fears
They bring her and I to terrible tears
All I hear is her sad plea -
"Mommy, please don't leave me"
I didn't know then but I'm here now
We'll help her through this pain somehow
We'll love her and nurture her and in the end
Her soul and spirit will be strong again
