You Had No Right!
by Teri7
"Daddy, why did you hurt me so?" Lonely was I every way I would go. I wanted a daddy to love, not hate. In my eyes you never did rate. As far back as I remember you touched me wrong! Growing up I felt I didn't belong. As a teenager riding to school with you, I would hide in the back seat so no one knew. "Daddy, why did you have to die on me?" I finally got married and felt I was free! I hated you for so many years, you know? You messed with my life during the years I should grow. I finally knelt down and forgave you of this sin. I was glad you could never hurt me again. I don't know the plans God has for me. I hope you made peace in heaven, so the new you I will see. Written by: Teresa A. Shortess Copyright@2009 |

Thank you VMarguarite for the wonderful artwork. There was no age limit. As far as I can remember I was one that he abused. I am thankful that I can't remember it all. He was in the military and something made him mess up really bad. As a child I didn't understand it at all. This is all very true. Thanks for reading and reviewing. God bless. Teri
