Sorry
I know they spanked you
I am sorry because I
Know how wrong it feels.
May the Words Flow
I know they spanked you
I am sorry because I
Know how wrong it feels.

A touching poem about the physical abuse of children. I find the narrator’s ability to empathise with the victim very moving!

Thank you, Dominic!

As always this is such an emotional and powerful poem, in just a few choice words too. I’m so glad things have progressed from the idea that spanking is the way to discipline children, but am saddened that there are probably people who still do it!
THank you so much for sharing!

There are people who still spank their kids, but it heartens me to share my thoughts and maybe teach someone something new!

Such a short and powerful post.
It’s so sad how people still spank their kids.

It’s shocking how many people still think it’s ok to hit children, even though all the research points to it bad for children, and that’s even before getting to the darker child abuse level of spanking and hitting

OH man, this is true sibling love right here. We can’t do anything about parents punishing your sibling, but we can relate at the same time. I know I don’t want to be the type of parent who punishes a child by spanking. There are other ways to teach them the right from wrong.

Thanks so much! There may be sibling rivalry but there is also so much sibling love.

The older generations know in retrospect it was wrong! But they have had their time now. Family has progressed far from those ‘Olden Days’ thankfully! 🙂

I love helping the times move forward. 🙂
