Innocence

A child's innocence belongs to her,

her eyes are unaware of danger and

there is a beautiful freedom in that.

She feels safe and never thinks about

someone harming her. Her life has not

been stained with the ugly reality of

hurt and pain. No one has violated her

in any way.

But one day, a stranger, or a relative,

or a babysitter, perhaps even her 

mother of father, steals her

innocence forever, and as she hurts,

feels pain and shame, her innocence

has gone away. Her whole life has

changed, ever since the day she was

violated in very private places.  

Children should never be treated 

that way,but they need our 

protection because very bad people

may harm them in the most awful

actions. We must always be there

for them and watch them carefully

so that they may live a life of 

innocence as long as they can.
