Caren Krutsinger Poet Dramatic Monologue

It Would Have Been Kidnapping

I wish I could have taken the sadness from her eyes
But it looked pretty permanent.
She was only three
Had no idea she was delightful.

I wish I could have moved her with me across three states.
But it would have been kidnapping
And she was a child
And I a teacher

So I moved away
Always haunted by her asking me
Can I be your little girl?
Never forgetting that in forty years.
