Forever silent,
to cry no more
never again to suffer
the blame he bestowed

Eternal beauty,
long golden curls,
eyes blue as midnight -
asleep for all time

Harsh words always
spoken, won't be
heard any more -
merciful angels have
carried her home

What grows inside a person
that allows them to abuse
such a precious child?

Stop the abuse.
