Justice?

Always ready with hugs and affection

to much so on reflection

lavishing sweets and toys

frowning when she played with boys

I was so delighted he took the time

bonding with songs and rhyme

forever sitting on his knee

Why didn't I see?

That dreadful day I'll never forget

she came and said "Sorry mommy, I'm wet"

her panties covered in blood

I knew some-one had been up to no good

I tried to stay calm

not frighten my little lamb

"What happened darling,

tell mommy everything"

She started crying

and said "you'll say I'm lying"

"He told me to say I fell

Mommy I'm not allowed tell"

My heart sank to the floor

my innocent girl, no more

"We'll go and see Doctor 'G'

he'll make it better, you'll see"

He took over from there

all I could do was vacantly stare

How could I not have known

as I'm ringing his phone

He denies all wrongdoing

"She must have fell, always bloody running"

court case is looming on the horizon

Five years the police are surmising

I've already bought the gun

lessons on Tuesdays at one

five years is a disgrace

I'll wipe the smile off his face
