I reckon you know
I believe you recall
I know you know
That you watched from the sidelines!
Perhaps you don’t
Perhaps you do
Perhaps I know you do
That you watched from the sidelines!
Watched..
A weak child
A fearful child
A crying child
A breaking child
A begging child
A drowning child
A child you call your own
From the sidelines!
By Susan McMillan
Yes, the one who stood by and did nothing needs to be called out.
Thank-you Elizabeth. It’s good to know that we can still forgive even those that stood and watched from the sidelines 🌹. I am very thankful for your voice of wisdom Elizabeth.💞
I love your concise, tightly-worded style. Plus your messages, of course!
Thank-you Susan 💞. Hugs sent today 🌹
Ok, you got me at the drowning child. I actually felt the hairs on my arms jump up, ready to save that drowning child.
That’s actually not fiction. It’s based on a true story hoping someone will listen and be aware of continuous child abuse. Thank-you very much taking your time to read this piece.🌹
I had written more at first, but then I realized it might have been just that. 💔
Your words are very much welcome here. This is a mended voice crying out for those that are still traveling a similar road. Hugs💞
Powerful
Thank-you very much 🌹
