Why did you hurt my child today?
Why did you hurt my child today?
Did he upset you so?
If not then why’d you cast those words
And strike that painful blow?
Can you not see the good in him?
Or maybe you don’t care.
Such words and fists can cause such pain
And hurt that he must wear.
The bruises heal, the scars will fade
But thoughts of you will stay
Within him for some time to come
With each new passing day.
Perhaps one day you’ll realise
The damage you can do
Or maybe you’ll become the one
Who’s hurt by others too.
I hope that you don’t have to feel
The fear that fills his sleep
Or find yourself in nightmares that
Are buried not so deep.
I cried for him today you know
Because I wasn’t there
To shield him from the pain you gave
A pain that we now share.
This poem was written by a lady about her son who is a victim of bullying. The lady wrote this poem when her son was being treated in hospital
as a result of an assault due to bullying.
The lady was feeling emotional and scared....
this was just last week and is sadly happening in all of our schools,
in every part of the UK, in France, Italy, Germany - its a worldwide epidemic
that is breaking childrens and parents hearts and the rest of the family.
Lets put a Full Stop 2 Bullying and stop this torment.
Many thanks to the writer of the poem, our thoughts are with you all.
