The House That Holds My Little Girl Soul

The house that holds my little girl soul Drifts farther and farther away The woman I am must now move on But a piece of me wants to stay Isolated in my memory Is the farm house of my youth Locked inside are joys and pains Fantasy mixed with truth The light shines bright from my bedroom window While a storm brews inside and out The wheat shafts dance as the wind blows There is no going back, there is no doubt I see the little girl that once was me Standing and watching it fade I am not sure that she can plainly see The suffering that was on parade

I feel those words as if they are my own.....what child could ever know the trials that one faces in the parade that takes us away from our innocence? Love this!
