Stop I Pleaded

Stop I Pleaded

By Annette Camp

A man has taken

my son away.

I saw them leave

together with my

own two eyes. 

I ran after the

vehicle, only to

have my son tear

up and turn away.

As I reached out

toward him, I 

screamed: "I

will save you."

With tears 

running down 

my cheeks, he 

mouthed, "I'm ok."

 

I yelled to the 

driver to stop 

and pleaded

with my son to

jump from the

moving vehicle.

He shook his head

and said, "I can't.

I'm the father of

his daughter's child."
