I believe you abhor child abuse so I have sent this to you.  There are thousands of Sarahs (and Sarah's parents) out there and I’m asking you to pray for them.<o:p></o:p>

My Name Is Sarah

<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

My name is Sarah;
I am but three,
My eyes are swollen
I cannot see.<o:p></o:p>

I must be stupid,
I must be bad;
What else could have made
My daddy so mad?<o:p></o:p>

I wish I were better,
I wish I weren't ugly,
Then maybe my Mommy
Would still want to hug me.<o:p></o:p>

I can't speak at all,
I can't do a wrong
Or else I'm locked up
All the day long. <o:p></o:p>

When I awake <o:p></o:p>

I'm all alone,
The house is dark
My folks aren't home. <o:p></o:p>

When my Mommy does come
I'll try and be nice,
So maybe I'll get just
One whipping tonight.<o:p></o:p>

Don't make a sound!
I just heard a car;
My daddy is back
From Charlie's Bar.<o:p></o:p>

I hear him curse,
My name he calls;
I press myself
Against the wall.
 
I try and hide
From his evil eyes;
I'm so afraid now
I'm starting to cry.<o:p></o:p>

He finds me weeping,
He shouts ugly words,
He says its my fault
That he suffers at work.<o:p></o:p>

He slaps me and hits me
And yells at me more,
I finally get free
And I run for the door.<o:p></o:p>

He's already locked it
And I start to bawl,
He takes me and throws me
Against the hard wall.<o:p></o:p>

I fall to the floor
With my bones nearly broken,
And my daddy continues
With more bad words spoken.<o:p></o:p>

"I'm sorry!" I scream,
But its now much too late
His face has been twisted
Into unimaginable hate.<o:p></o:p>

The hurt and the pain
Again and again,
’"Oh please God, have mercy!
Oh please let it end!"<o:p></o:p>

And he finally stops
And heads for the door,
While I lay there motionless
Sprawled on the floor.

 

My name is Sarah
And I am but three,
Tonight my daddy
Murdered me.
