A child's plea |
I wanted to phone you mommy, but he wouldn’t permit it I pleaded for release, but he said to forget it I wept for you mommy, because it broke my heart The way he ravaged me tore me apart Don’t forget me mommy I promised to do what he asked if he’d let me go The bruises upon my body prove that it’s so I even attempted to flee from him several times, But I was recaptured and he took what was mine Don’t forget me mommy Forgive me mommy, for I prayed for death each day I just couldn’t endure the torture inflicted this way I love you so much mommy, want to be with you again, But I’m in a predicament where I can’t possibly win Don’t forget me mommy When I spoke of you and daddy, the man began to curse Warned me if I persisted, things would get much worse I’m frightened, so frightened mommy, I hope to see you soon, To tell you and daddy what he does to me in that room Don’t forget me mommy After endless rapes and beatings I heard the angel call Her soft voice assured me that I’d finally been freed once and for all Don’t cry for me mommy, for now I feel no pain I’ll be in God’s loving hands until we meet again Don’t forget me mommy |
