Why My Little Girl?

I watch my child in her delay Waiting for speech some day Holding my heart in her hand Her mind is slipping through my fingers like sand She has an emptiness in her eyes She listens but makes no connection or ties I feel as if I failed somehow So what can I do for her now She is the butterfly in my life Yet she is all lost in strife Please tell me why my little girl Why my precious baby girl?
