I Forgive You

In the darkness of a cold stormy night You snuffed out the little flame of my life Why did I let go without a try May be the abandoned infant in me could no longer cry Despite all the wisdom from your age you gained Beating this little child, to you was fair game How could I protect myself when I was so frail and thin You put an end to my story before it could begin I had the face of an angel and like a feather I weighed But I was your nemesis, so your cruel heart said With swollen lips I cried helplessly through the night But the world turned away without pitying my plight I hope you are happy with your accomplishment May God reward you, not deliver punishment Although I am a little child,I pray for you I have a large heart, I forgive you
