Can You See Me?

Mommy can you see me? I can bounce really high! Maybe with some bouncy shoes I can visit you in the sky! I'm seven years old now Mommy. You've been gone about a year. I can't wait to see you Mommy, and your memories are near. Mommy can you see me? Oops- I failed another test. But I remembered what you told me and I tried my very best. I'm ten years old now Mommy. You've been gone about four years. I really miss you Mommy, and I wish you were here. Mommy can you see me? Dad went off on me again. I slit my wrists to ease the pain, I have scars all over my skin. I'm fourteen years old now Mommy, you've been gone about eight years. Who are you anyways Mommy? Thanks a lot for leaving me in tears... Mommy can you see me? I'm so glad I finally changed! In accepted Jesus like you once did so my life could be rearranged. I'm sixteen years old now Mommy, you've missed the past ten years. But I'll see you in heaven Mommy, and that helps me fight my fears.
