"THE CHILD, IN MY MIND"
by:Aunt Betty J. Sanders
June 30, 1999
I sent her out in the fields today
to play among the new mown hay.
She hid in my heart for many years
and viewed the world through eyes of tears
Afraid to trust, afraid of blame.
She laughed, she played, but all the while
she hid her tears behind her smile.
A child misused, a child abused
How can this be, there's no excuse.
Today I let her feel the pain
to remember once again.
Then she released them one by one
all those who hurt and what they've done.
Out in the fields she's free to play
among the flowers and new mown hay.
The child is gone, there's no more pain
at last, I'm free.
