She was only two years old…
And what a tragedy.
When she was bruised from head to toe,
And he was found, “Not Guilty.”
There were fingerprints on her face
And on her arms and legs.
Justice would not be done
No matter how hard I begged.
There was a bite mark on her arm
And a black bruise on her ear.
I can’t stand to think of it now
Even though it has been over a year.
The blame was on a small child
That my baby knew.
He covered and schemed his way out,
Or he was covering for someone who…
May have hurt her
But either way
I anger when I remember
How she looked that day.
The fingerprints on her bottom
Was not that of the one who was blamed.
A cover-up or done by him…
To me it’s just the same.
In my eyes, he’s just as guilty
If he’s covering for his love.
No justice on Earth has there been
But he’ll answer to the one above!
The fingerprints were the size of mine,
But questioned, they never were.
I feel so lost and confused.
My concerns are only for her.
Child abuse was dropped.
Negligence was never tried.
I remember that day and what I saw.
I felt as if I could die!
I never saw who or how.
She was gone for nine days.
Anger, frustration and the thoughts I had
Were worth nothing anyway.
I knew then, as I know now…
Revenge and anger brings no good.
They cause only more pain…
Even though I wish I could…
I can not say his name,
Nor can I others that may have been
Involved in her bruising and misfortune.
Is this a trial I cannot win?
I sit and worry every day
That soon he will show up.
Asking to see her again,
But I will not give up!
I have been advised to wait
For him to make the first move,
But I fear that it may be too late.
By then what could I prove?
I will never forget that day.
What she must have gone through.
Thank God she doesn’t remember
What happened when she was only two.
