GLASS & STEEL

"The hammer that breaks glass can shape steel. It is up to us to be shattered glass or steel."

Give the little dewdrops
Love to last a lifetime
Affection
Senerity
Soothing Angels caresses
+
Sadness and sorrow
Total darkness of the heart
Echoes through the silence
Endless whispers in heaven
Love the little cherbic child


It's sad to see little kids being abused and especially so when we cannot do anything about it. Just witnessed a neighbour's kid getting canned repeatedly in the lift without the slightest provovation recently and another time burnt with the end of a cigarette butt...This heartbreaking scene really make me wonder what is going through her little mind at that moment. Something which will scar her for life definitely. I noticed that she already has many old cane-marks on her little legs...such cruelty can hardly be ignored..


Sometimes I really wish I could volunteer my time to befriend children that are abused so that they will not suffer any long term effects of any sort...but do not have the right training...never too late to start.. Volunteering for a good cause..merits gained more than all the grains in the padi field...joy money cannot buy..

I believe all of us have been caned or whacked by parents at least once when we were naughty as kids back then but constant abuse is something of a different matter altogether.
