Please Stop, That Hurts.

 

A father comes home from work

He’s had a bad day once again

The child comes out from his room at the wrong time

 

He goes to school the next day

With bruises covering his body

He covers up the teachers questions with lies

 

The teacher calls a conference

The father comes in calmly

But leaves frustrated

 

The father enters the child’s room

And beats him as he sleeps

The next day he doesn’t awake from his slumber

 

The father is placed in jail

The child is placed in the ground

They’re both in a better place now

 

He sits up in the clouds

With the Lord his new father

Standing beside him

Showing him love he never new before.

It is a touching story indeed - a story or a real one?

A few words and a few lines, tell the whole story! Well done. I like it especially the ending,

"He sits up in the clouds
With the Lord his new father
Standing beside him
Showing him love he never new before."
