Deana,

This is so sad...we are all God's children and we all deserve an equal chance in life.
This is not our every day reality, I am very much aware of that.
What grieves me the most is the fact that the cruelties are inflicted upon the most helpless victims off all...children.
A beautiful poem and a powerfull statement as well, bravo!

Take care,

Ingrid

What matters most to me about this poem is not what it says, but where it's coming from. It is my understanding that you work with children like this, and so it's obvious to me that this is a real experience and a real heartache for you. It shows in the poem.

Congratulations for probably the single most real poem I have ever read.

This is totaly heartbreaking. What a piece to bring to light the plight of so many of our children. The future. Wow. This one packs a punch. You do so much good Deana. What a very emotional and sad poem. Society needs to look to somehow make these things right once more.
Great job!
Love cindy

What a amazing piece!
So emotional, so sad and so beautiful written.
A great meaning.
Well done!
Take care

The truth well written and thought through. Working in a High School I see this too often and there seems to be no cure.

When u think about it all its really messed up. ur very good at ur job n i bet my life on that. u see wut they see n even beyond that. but if this is real then i suggest u dont give up that kid which i doubt u will. we need more people like u
