"let Me Be a Kid"

Let me stay small and be a child.
I'll be good and won't run wild.

You always took care of you never me.
You was never here when I needed you to be.

As I grew up you never showed me love.
So I prayed at night to our lord above.

I went through life with my heart broken.
Cause the words"I LOVE YOU"were never spoken.

My life was ending as it begun.
Without anything without anyone.
                       Teresa Skyles

A very sad but heartfelt poem, Teresa. Tugs at my heartstrings to know there are children who never hear the words "I love you." Touching write! Love, Carolyn
