Lessons!
Imagine this!
I know its hard,
but stay with me please.
My little girl was all I wanted
all that she could be
All she would be.
She chatted all day,
she chatted all night,
too much for me back then.
I listened to her for most of the time,
but then,
I silenced her.
I wish I knew then what I do today,
please listen to your child.
Because I know this today...
She stopped talking to me one day,
and I don't know when. Or how, or why!
Did I make her stop?
Did I make her drop?
to where she is now?
And if I could,
and I wish I could
bring those days back now.
Maybe she would tell me what is bringing her down!
But She has stopped!
So learn!
