Little Girl Once Lost
My fingers trace your
silhouette,
all I have is
a shadow of you.
Sensitive shoulders
that held me up
in my mind
forever I choose.
A child naïve,
empty and alone,
without a father
who left to roam.
I was once your
little girl Daddy,
till that fateful day
when you said
goodbye to Mummy,
oh, how it did rain.
But years have moved on
I’m your little girl
no longer,
but my heart needs to
reach out to you, to
tell of your grandson
who needs his grandpa,
and not an ancient
photograph
forever fading,
unlike my
memory of you.
