This poem was written by a survivor and her family has given permission to add this poem to the pages here. I want to thank Rachel for allowing us to use her mothers poem. Kathy is no longer with us but her memory lives on in the memories and hearts of all that knew and loved her. I didnt personally get a chance to meet Kathy but I am sure that she was a wonderful and loving person. This page is dedicated to her from all of us at Friends and Survivors Forum.

Dedication

For every child who cries at night
Alone with shame and pain and fright
For every child who wants so much
To only feel a gentle touch

For the beaten child, who cries in pain
Whose tears run silent, like the rain

For the child used to satisfy lust
Who never learns to love or trust

For the child taken from her home
And made to feel so all alone

For the child whose home is just a shell
Where life becomes a living hell

For the child who smiles but cannot feel
Because of scars too deep to heal

For every child who yearns for love
I hope and pray to God above
To hear your cries and heal your pain
And give you back your life again

With love, to all the children
