Hush sweet child <br />dry your eyes. <br />You're safe now forever <br />it's all right. <br /> <br />No more sadness <br />no more pain. <br />He'll never again hurt you <br />or scream out your name. <br /> <br />You're mommy is coming <br />you won't be alone. <br />She'll be safe here with you <br />you won't be hungry or cold. <br /> <br />No more bruises <br />no more broken bones. <br />No more beatings <br />with bats and phones. <br /> <br />No more touching <br />of that private place. <br />Only love and warmth <br />I give to replace. <br /> <br />Food and laughter <br />kisses and hugs. <br />A world so much better <br />that anything that was. <br /> <br />Look sweet child <br />you're mommy is here. <br />Just like I promised <br />and I'll always be near. <br /> <br />That man who once hurt you <br />is gone from your life. <br />You're safe now in Heaven <br />no more will you cry. <br /> <br /> <br />October 25,2007<br /><br />Heather Kemper<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/rescued-2/
