The Little Girl

The little girl all alone
her footprints stain the
sands of time
for which life 
cannot atone-

Misery was her only friend
sadness the only thing
that fate would send-

All the pain she shouldn't feel
hope long lost
this agony real-

Why was she born
if to know only tears?
How could she sustain
each day all her fears?

But one day as her sorrow fell
as diamonds to rain
came a beautiful angel
to assuage all her pain-

Embraced now in radiant, golden light
no more darkness or endless night-

Bereft and lost she will be no more
in Gods garden to forever soar-

Emerald as her Irish eyes
her body broken
but her soul to never die-

The little girl now a star
in Heavens glory
midnights keeping
her ageless story-
