The day he came

Jumping
Playing
Safe

Giggles
Laughter
Fun
Loved

He came

Screaming
Shouting
Swearing
Fear

Tears
Cruelty
Pain
Hate

Desperation

No escape

Desperation.

The day he came

Childhood
Freedom
Joy
Life

Taken away

Where did our childhood go
Has it been kept safe somewhere unknown?
And one day together
We can finish those wonderful years
Where we had been given so much love

Secure
Care free

Allowed to be
Children

Until
The day he came
