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

UNSUBSTANCIATED
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!!
