Merely a child yet now she is running the house So many chores to undertake, her childhood is in tatters How can she forget the day her dear mama passed away Her father mourns secretly since he lost his beloved spouse Precious memories of her in their hearts forever will stay His darling daughter survived, and nothing else matters 02~06~15 abcacb rhyme form Contest: Angel in Disguise - Isaiah Zerbst

Jan, I like this poem because it reminds me of a time when I was preteen, with much responsibilities before school. My big sister was flown to the States. I don't know which part was a blessing in disguise, but I survived. Hats off to you, my dear.

Jan Allison

Thanks for the lovely comment Iris - there are so many children that truly do act as 'angels' to their parents/siblings - so often they are unsung heroes:-) Hugs jan xx

Thank you so much David - it was the goat that drew me to the picture lol - I used to have one just like the one in the picture - I could even milk her - just used to give her food especially bananas and she would stand still - hey what memories! Hugs jan xxx

Thanks Rhonda - whilst there were other pictures I could have written about I chose this simply because I had a white goat called Susie when I was a teenager lol:-) I was thinking of penning another verse but will leave it as it is now:-) Hugs Jan

This is a touching poem. It reminds me of the song "Patches" from the 1960's. It told of a young person who must assume adult responsibility. Peace & Love Matthew Anish
