A true story about a girl who passed away in 2006. Her murderers were executed 2 days ago. This poem is dedicated to her. I request you to please remember this innocent little soul in your prayers. Thank you. <br /> <br />Tied to the window sill <br />Staring out the window <br />Thinking about her life <br />Death <br />Why would these thoughts go through <br />A 9 year old girl's head? <br />Her body beaten and bruised <br />Her left hand broken <br />Kerosene on her face <br />Burnt legs <br />Tortured since a long time <br />She's weak and thirsty <br />Hunger pangs muddled up with the pain <br />All this done by the one person who should have protected her <br />Her father. <br /> <br />He wanted to get rid of her simply because <br />Of suspicions that she wasn't his lawful daughter <br />Snatched her from her mother <br />Gained custody <br />He remarried <br />Continued playing the role of jailer and executioner to please his wife <br />Torturing this helpless soul <br />An innocent child who couldn't fight back <br /> <br />Her biological mother intervened <br />But had no support <br />The justice system had died <br />While she was trying to survive each and every day <br />Praying she would get her daughter back <br /> <br />The little girl finally gave up <br />The daily brutal torture killed her <br />Her murderers were sentenced to death <br />But what about the mother <br />Who lost her one and only baby to these savages? <br />What is she going through? <br />None of us will know <br /> <br />The Gates of Heaven open <br />Embracing the little girl <br />Finally she rests in peace <br />In the arms of an angel<br /><br />Afshaan T.S<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/she-rests-in-peace/
