I do not understand it! How a man could beat his wife.
Maybe it’s because I’ve led a very sheltered life.
Anger and frustration I can understand
But as for hitting children I’d never raise my hand.
I was taught from childhood to protect the small and weak
And my thoughts on violence I can hardly speak.
For a man to be so cowardly as to hit his family
Is almost beyond bearing, as far as I can see!
I pray for those who suffer such ignorant abuse
Though for the perpetrators I cannot find excuse.
Yet still I pray my God will work with them and then
They will grow in gentleness and be like true, ‘real’, men.
