I walked through that door
They said "please, sit down"
"We've got some bad news,
And it's all over town"
"Someone said something,
And said it was you"
"She said that you touched her,
We know that's not true"
I've always loved kids
In all the right ways
I never looked AT THEM
Not even sideways
Along comes His Ex
His Ex with a grudge
She took my good name
And turned it to sludge
We all were questioned,
By all the experts
Questions that frightened
And questions that hurt
And "NO"was the answer
The little girl said
"Oh, I sat on his lap"
"But!, he only read!"
"Unsubstantiated" was
The word that they used
It stays with you always
A huge mental bruise
Forty years later
I keep them at bay
NO!, It's not right
But how it will stay
I was falsely accused of child ****** abuse back in the 80's..,
Back when all those day cares were being paraded into court on somebody JUST saying so!!
Ruined many a life...
Funny, I'm one of the lucky ones, though I still suffer, always on my guard, trying to insure that I don't leave myself vulnerable to ever having to go through that again.
For someone who Love's children, it's been a life sentence!!
