Child Like

I feel like a child who almost drowned Afraid to test the waters again. A child who was given a puppy And it was taken away. A child who reached for a hand And none was given. A child lost in a mall Looking to anyone for help. A child who was told the story of a great white knight Who sits waiting, but he never comes. A child raised on a foundation of love But now feels her own foundation crumbling beneath her. Lost in a forrest Afraid of the nights. Yet the sun makes her smile For maybe today she will find her way out. So what will become of this little girl lost? For the love that she seeks, will she always pay the cost? Every night upon her knee She prays "daddy please help me"
