Reaching: Out to Stuart & Paul

I have not known you long Paul
And you gave us our voice
To tell all about the abuse
Of children of all ages
And worldwide which happened
In the Nazareth House Orphanages.

We were children who the priest's
And nuns did not want
Which showed in the way
They abused us Of mind, Body and soul.

We are still crying inside
And the nuns do not care
But Paul you were there
In Scotland with us in mind
And all too soon we came out
Of our shells to shout to the world
WE WILL NOT TAKE ANY MORE ABUSE
FROM THE NAZARETH HOUSE NUNS AND PRIEST'S

For together we are strong
So hear us all as we shout
For our freedom from our past
And Paul you have given us-our strength
As we come together -slowly one by one
To tell the world what the nuns had done
To us when we were little children
In the Nazareth House nuns care
Who did not hear our cries?
And they never once did dry our tears.

Dear Paul
I thank you from my heart
For with out your help
I would not be on this Site
I hear the pain of all here
And pray to god that they
Are now all getting some care?

So Paul
far away in New Zealand
Your praises we sing
For you Paul where the first one
To hear and see Scotland's Children's tears
And their hearts weeping with fear.

As Scotland is so proud of you, Paul
We too have a gentleman here with us
In New Zealand you know
Mr. Stuart Henderson is his name
He has stood by us from day one
To tell us yes, the wrong was done

To hear a Lawyer say this was no lie
And to hear the truth from some one
As I sit and cry
For it is hard to tell
Of the abuse from these nuns and priest's

Dear Stuart,
Thank you for all you have done for us
As we begin to stand tall
We the abused children of Nazareth House
Will never forget
The gentleman who stood for us all
As we cried and told you all, Stuart
Of the abuse which had haunted us
Through the many years

Stuart, my lawyer who is truthful,

Trustworthy open .

and sincere.
I Thank you Stuart, for your honesty
throughout the years you have worked.
for us all.

And most of all Stuart,
We will not forget
That you believed us without a doubt
And that I will never forget
As I begin to be strong and stand tall.

I will never be able to thank you enough,
for you Stuart, were the first lawyer
To believe of the abuse I told
Of the Nazareth House nuns and priest
In the Catholic Church Orphanages
All those years ago.

I thank Stuart's Staff

who have helped us throughout

the years since 1997,

who have kept a happy smile

and a good cheerful voice to us all on the phone

and of cause his Sally,

who always has a good word to say to us

after she heard us tell of the abuse

which happened to us

many years ago.

My many thanks go to Sarah.

who did so much for us in the first part of the years

and who has now come back to take us through to the end.

Thank you one and all and Lynda,

as you have all done your share in helping Stuart

with our cases,

with the two orders of nuns.

It would take me weeks

and for ever to thank each one of you

this is how it should be.

So please take this

THANK YOU, TO EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU.

Thank you to you all.

Thank you Rochelle,

for understanding me in my awkward ways.

You have all worked

beyond the call of your master's voice [Stuart]

and I am sure that he is so proud of you all.

Thank you both Stuart and Paul
For without your help we would be
Still in our shells
Dead scared to tell of the
Abuse behind those big brick walls.
