Memories of a Child

Lying here I awaken to the old familiar dream As if not there, just an interloper it might seem I watch a life I no longer recognize yet it seems so real I envision innocence of the child I see begin to kneel Whispering a prayer from lips trembling with humility Love emanates from faith filled words of her reality Help me father to understand I do not know what I have done Mommy is so angry I want so badly just to run I do not want to anger her so please let me see why I will do all I can to help but please don't let me cry I need to be a good girl so she will not hate me you see I want to make mommy happy then maybe she'll love me Years have gone and still this dream comes back once again I know now it wasn't me but I didn't know that then Fear grips me still if anger is about to rear its ugly head No child deserves to live life with that awful sense of dread Help is there for every one that wants it to be I know as I was that little girl praying God would protect me.
