She wasn’t afraid
but she was alone
the house was empty
nobody home
She didn’t get angry
she didn’t have to cry
she didn’t even question
that she’s alone at 5 and why
It’s hard to find a window
that opens kind of wide
even for a little person
to end up safe inside
So she huddles on the step
trying to keep warm
wishing, hoping someone comes
before all curtains are drawn
Now it starts to quietly rain
and it’s getting rather dark
So she starts to walk down the road
towards Alberta Park
We never knew what happened
to that little girl alone
I just know she’d still be here
if someone had been home…

Absolutely. And so unnecessary and could be avoided. NZ has horrific child abuse stats, and they are only the ones that got reported. Imagine how many say nothing and know no different….😟 Heartbreaking

Reminiscent of a child’s nursery rhyme…on the surface, hidden in the obvious are the greatest fears of man and child, the boogeyman crosses all innocent landscapes…

I am extremely impressed with your writing skills and also with the layout on your weblog.
Is this a paid theme or did you customize it yourself?
Anyway keep up the excellent quality writing, it is rare to see a nice blog like this one today.

Thanks luv – breaks my heart to know this happens so often and only after the fact are those children suddenly “precious” and the last thing a parent remembers is that they said “I love you” sorry but alot of that is BS! (sorry – I don’t want to offend anyone but it really really pisses me off – as you can tell lol)

So sad, especially when it happens so often. Hard enough with 2 parents even harder for a single one.
