The Little Girl

The little girl who wasted years Ignoring precious time Has given love a second chance By mending what's inside And thus by healing her broken heart Two were saved to find A friend they lost, far out of sight But never out of mind And the little girl with an empty hand Now holds her mother's tight Free to talk about the pain Of time that passed them by And though the years once lost are gone It's now that holds the key It's not how many seasons change But time before we leave To tell the ones we love the most With measured time to share For a fleeting life, comes and goes But love's forever there, Was a lesson learned by the little girl Who closed her heart one day But given to so very few A second chance to say That love is now between us The wall's been taken down The daughter's found her rightful place Beside her mother now Kevin D.
