The Unique Life Of Me

December 29, 2008 - ~Poem~

Hi Peoples,

How have you been doing? Did you guys have a great Christmas?

The majority of our snow has melted. We have had 2 strait days of rain and so now we have several inches here and there.  I will say that we had a VERY White Christmas this year. On Christmas day we had three feet of snow and in drifts we had up to four feet. The day after Christmas it rained and rained and rained and needless to say by-by snow.  I will have to say I am thankful that the snow is melting, it is so hard to function when there is so much snow. I know I felt VERY housebound. Hopefully we will not have this much snow again for a couple more years!


I got this email from one of my friend's and I thought it was well worth sharing!

Here it is:

My name is Chris

I am three,

My eyes are swollen

I cannot see,

I must be stupid

I must be bad,

What else could have made

My daddy so mad?

I wish I were better

I wish I weren't ugly,

Then maybe my mommy

Would still want to hug me.

I can't do a wrong

I can't speak at all

Or else I'm locked up

All day long.

When I'm awake I'm all alone

The house is dark

My folks aren't home

When my mommy does come home

I'll try and be nice,

So maybe I'll just get

One whipping tonight.

I just heard a car

My daddy is back

From Charlie's bar.

I hear him curse

My name is called

I press myself

Against the wall

I try to hide

From his evil eyes

I'm so afraid now

I'm starting to cry

He finds me weeping

Calls me ugly words,

He says its my fault

He suffers at work.

He slaps and hits me

And yells at me more,

I finally get free

And run to the door

He's already locked it

And i start to bawl,

He takes me and throws me

Against the hard wall

I fall to the floor

With my bones nearly broken,

And my daddy continues

With more bad words spoken,

'I'm sorry!', I scream

But its now much to late

His face has been twisted

Into a unimaginable shape

The hurt and the pain

Again and again

O please God, have mercy!

O please let it end!

And he finally stops

And heads for the door

While I lay there motionless

Brawled on the floor

My name is Chris

I am three,

Tonight my daddy

Murdered me

And you can help

  me,

And if you read this

and don't pass it on

I pray for your forgiveness

Because you would have to be

One heartless person

To not be effected

By this Poem

And because you are effected,

Do something about it!

So all I ask you to do

Is pass this on!

Isn't that a wonderful and sad poem.  It really touched me and the sad thing is that so many children are in the same situation as Chris was. There are things that we can do to help these children! No child should have to go threw the pain of being abused by a parent, family member, friend, etc. Help these children, you can help more then you may think. Pass this along and get the word out that thousands of children are abused each and every day and if you know someone that abuses their children, report them to the authorities. Don't wait, because if you do it may to late. Do me a favor and please pass this poem along!

I was gonna go up and do a bright and cheerful comment, but the poem left me feeling a little more thoughtful. Anyway, our family has done a lot with helping people in situations like that, and actually some of them are now my adopted sisters... I won't go into to it further, but God has used us in that area.

You mean it rains in December where you live? It doesn't just snow, snow, snow?
It was like 75 F or something on Christmas here, but at least its cold now...no snow though.
Have a Happy New Year!

God bless...and thanks for all the nice comments you give me. They are a blessing...

That poem completely captivated me!!!! I just couldn't stop scrolling down and down until the end! I hardly even blinked. That was... so sad. Thats all I can say. I am touched by it.

Thank you for the comment, and I am SO SORRY that it has taken me soo long to get back to you!!

I can't remember exactly what you asked in your question and I am to lazy to go look at it (*blushes* bad me!!) but I do know you asked if I made the template. Yes, I did make it, and thank you for the comment!! =) It was very nice.

Well I just thought I'd stop by and say hi, and happy new year! =)

Hey,
Oh, so your doing swim team? That sounds like a lot of fun! I wish you best of luck! That's funny that you make the same resolution every year. The more I think about it, so do I. lol. I'll try and change that. :-)
