Lost Innocence
written by: Nancy E. Campos
To all those whose innocence was taken,
Whose dreams were stolen, whose lives were shaken.
For those of us who trusted and believed,
Who now have to learn of that pain to be free.
We must not hate; we mustn’t carry their shame,
It was not us; the innocent are not to blame,
You are perfect; this you have to know,
Brave and beautiful your energy, your soul is aglow.
Letting go of the pain may hurt today,
Rely on your strength; It will find the way.
To always inspire, to always be there,
For those who one day may face despair.
This burden is heavy for someone so small,
Don’t let this break you. Remember, always stand tall.
Don’t give them that power to dim your light,
To steal your smile to turn your days into night.
Be patient; it may take a while,
Time will heal, time will return your smile.
