------------------------
Where to start?
When you have a battered and bruised heart,
The child so soft spoken,
Until that faithful day she was twisted and broken.
It was not by the hand of god and the falling of a star,
Not from an unstoppable accident involving a car,
This child broken by a hand,
The one of a drug induced man.
Broken fibula,
Twisted Tibia,
Fractured bones,
Hairline breaks, curdling moans.
Seventeen breaks all in all,
A little girl that was forced to fall.
A child battered and bruised,
Walking free is the one accused,
Her body casted half way up,
Her heart crying it has had enough,
So many bends, bruises, and breaks,
Yet she still smiles with all it takes.
She was broken, bent, twisted, and shamed,
She was in the papers; on the news, the child without a name,
Through all the pain and the misery,
She held her smile bright, for the entire world to see.
This child, so small and tender,
All it took was her fathers love to mend her.
Not even a year in this world,
What a tragedy we seen from this little girl,
No crime did she do, No pain did she inflict,
In one single moment, her world twisted by a drug induced addict.
Can we learn something from all of this? I think we can,
That the love of a child, can overcome adversity better than any man.
For this little girl walks tall and proud,
She runs and plays, jumping up and down,
Not allowing the unthinkable hate of one man,
Stop her from going on with her life plan,
Four years of age she is today,
Close your eyes, notice her laugh as she plays,
We all can take refuge in her love,
We know she was being watched from above,
Her heart has somewhat forgot,
I smile when I see her, and cry when I think of what I almost lost!
This man that caused her all this pain,
Well one day I will see him again,
What would I do, will I go that extra mile?
I can only close my eyes on that day, and think of my daughters smile,
I will look in his eyes; I will have nothing to say,
He will notice my pain and hate, as I turn and walk away.
One little girl,
One little world,
One too many twisted and shattered bones,
One too many painful tears and groans,
One little girl,
One little smile that lights up my world!
"Daddy loves you honey....."

I feel your love for her in this, and I have no use for those who hurt children. God smile on you both.
Well done

Thanks Larry. I appreciate the comments. I am glad you liked it... I too have no use for people that hurt children, be it physical or mental. The devil is in so many, and only through them do we see how evil he really is.

under no circumstances does anyone have a right to lay their hands on a child...your poem is so touching...and your love shows through...what a lucky little girl to have a real Daddy in a world where so few stand tall...

Thank you Shari and Christina for your comments. Like the adage says, What does not kill you only makes you stronger. I also have a son who is older then my daughter. He has helped to hold us both together with the love he has for his sister. Both my kids are young 4 and 6, but they are so much older.. God bless and thank you for your comments.

A beautiful poem with such a beautiful love! you can clearly see your love for your little baby through the words you use! Your daughter will be an inspiration to many!
You make me wonder if my mother felt so much pain and love for me when i was hurt - to have a loving and caring mother is all a healthy child needs. brilliant write!

Thank you very much MissTea.. I would have to say I feel in my heart that you mother does love you and did when you where hurt. No matter how much a person tries to deny their love for one, the love for a child can never be turned off. It is there, the bond is there, even if the parent is not able to be.. I appreciate your comments and god bless you..

| I cant imagine how you must feel. I never told my parents about what happened to me, and I'll probably take it to the grave too. To hurt a child in any way or form, be it physical, mental or sexual, is one of the greatest evils, the looting of innocence. I hope you and your girl pick up the pieces and enjoy life |

| I really liked this. I don't know what I would have done to the guy since I go beserk if it's one of my friends that have been hurt. I really liked this. I am glad that she is ok. Always hold her near for you may have lost her already and it is a gift that you still have her. Hope she grows up strong and tall. |
