Poem
I remember yesterdays Of sunshine on the field The peals of teenage laughter And tears that youth could wield Would I go back? No never Unless perchance to change Sad destinies forever In a world I find so strange Though sunshine touch a million Or a billion days of earth I cannot change life's sadness Nor share a mite of worth A precious soul was she In a world made of clay Cruel hand of years rocked harshly That young life wiped away Would I go back? Forever If, perchance to change That destiny to never Be wiped out by world strange A heartbeat in a young chest That beat with hopes and dreams Who despite doing souls best Melted into screams Yes, Dear God, I'd take the chance If by some great happenstance I could let that soul feel worth From that child's precious birth Life is fickle in world strange I wish I could elicit change And know that heart is beating But God would that be cheating? To know the answers to the test? I cringe, how can I share In hardest lives that do their best For that? No one even cared I saw those little feet run the canines all around Laughter came in peals From that dear little one Nobody then could understand Those dirty feet and grimy hands Those canines were her all That loved the poor rag doll No one knew why as a teen That precious soul Could be so mean And what could be the goal I remember how I cried When she took her life She thought that only suicide Could end the pain and strife And I remember yesterdays Of sunshine on the field The peals of teenage laughter And the tears that youth could wield
