MK forum

Make a difference.
You all have made a difference in my life.
You fight.
You listen.
You laugh.
You encourage.
You don't give up.
So I can do it too.
My hurts are small.
But they are there
And someone cares.

Excellent, Bemused. Thank you.

I hope someone will read this; someone who needs to hear your message. It is so important.

Bemused. I agree with Raz. Your above post is excellent.

I especially agree wholeheartedly with the statements that the abuse MK's suffered was not the fault of their own. Not at all. It was so wrong. And to think that when a child even dared to find help from mission leaders, they were not believed is terrible!

What can I do, what helps?

Listen, listen to the pain and sorrow.
Listen to the hope of a better tomorrow.

Say not that Jesus cares or God will provide
We've heard it all before and it was words that hide

Fight with us to end this shameful tyranny
So that children can grow up happy and free

Point to those who do this and hang not their heads in shame
If you have the courage and can, say aloud their name

Laugh with us even when the humor is strange
For it is how some of us cope, in our world of change

Never ever laugh at us, we've been down that road
That's why there are weeds in our garden sowed

Weep with us for our failed marriages and friendships dear
Or the children we never had, because of to much fear

Despise not our parents, but wonder at their stupidity
And never be like them, selling young lives for the cause of eternity

Smile kindly when we stuff up, as we are apt to do
We were taught that we would fail, it's not a reflection on you

Hold in confidence and discretion when we open up our hearts
It's deep and private, and will come out in broken parts

When we thank you most sincerely, please accept the praise
For it comes from deep within and is not easy some days

Let us trust you slowly, fake friends are two a penny
We've spent our lives seeking true love and rarely getting any

If all is going well, then we suddenly disappear
Come and find us gently, for we spook easily with fear

Tell us over and over till it hits like lightening volt
What happened when we were children was not our fault

And please if we give you something pathetic or nicely sweet
Please, never ever give it back or throw it at our feet


(added a verse)

A good addition, and it needs to be said repeatedly:

"Tell us over and over till it hits like lightning volt
What happened when we were children was not our fault"

Good addition Raz
I am going to pass this on to those who went to the MKSafetyNet conference.
Each verse could stand alone so many truths here.

AMEN!
On Saturday......
