A poem I wrote and then my husband and I turned into a song. Very sad, but this happens way too often. This has to do with child abuse within their own home. What should be their safe place, becomes their nightmare. And, they face this all alone.

A little girl comes home from school

walked in the door and broke the rule

I guess the smile on her face

made her mama feel out of place

she's gone

 

A little boy just like the rest

accidently passed the test

I guess the grades that he could make

was just to much for his pa to take

he's gone

 

When you look up in the sky

a tiny rain will pass you by

a tiny drop falls on your face

and it seems to be so out of place

 

And for every raindrop, there is a teardrop

the children's tears are pouring down

the silent cries are fallin 'round

another teardrop in the rain

 

A search is on for a local child

a little one so meek and mild

a mama's wrath came raging down

and people cry all over town

she's gone

 

A teenaged boy has took his life

he couldn't deal with all his strife

he left a note and closed the door

it was peace he was looking for

he's gone

 

When you look up into the sky

a tiny rain will pass you by

a tiny drop falls on your face

and it seems to be so out of place

 

And for every raindrop, there is a teardrop

the children's tears are pouring down

the silent cries are falling 'round

another teardrop in the rain

 

(Dedicated to all of the children we have lost to the hands of their parents)

May they forever fly with our Lord Jesus
