suffer the little children...
I'm more deeply affected by Neal's post on child abuse, than anything else I've seen lately. A man should die before he harms a child, freely, with a smile throwing his life on the fire to protect even one small life. A father, guardian, protecter, it's our role as men, wether you ever father a child or not.
I can't get the mental image out of my head, those poor, poor babies and children. Not now, not ever should we become used to such things. My recent brush with disaster has maybe left me hyper sensitive, but I can't see this unemotionally. My wife and I drove home to meet those EMT's full of terror, my head full of unspoken, silent prayers. Please, God, ...please, spare our baby. We couldn't not imagine the worst, so to see this pair of Hellspawn do this to those tragic little lives.......it makes me shake with rage, burning firery hate, HOW COULD THEY?.........
Their punishment is coming, so I focus now on those kids. Stunted in mind and body, forever scared. I'll pray for them, as will millions of others who will read and hear about this case. Maybe, maybe,....they will be lifted above what has been done to them. Some people are born to nurture children, to care for them, to seek them out and bring a tiny bit of light into their lives. Some, but there are never enough.
I wish there were more.
Come stop your crying
It will be all right
Just take my hand
Hold it tight
I will protect you
from all around you
I will be here
Don't you cry
For one so small,
you seem so strong
My arms will hold you
keep you safe and warm
This bond between us
can't be broken
I will be here
Don't you cry
'Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more
You'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be here
in my heart always
Always
