Best Hopegirl Poems


I See

In my mind I see no girl out there for me, I see all other guys with they beautiful girl, but me all alone with nobody to love. I ask my self am I ugly? Because I see no girl even look at me. But now I was only looking at one girl, I was blind . Now I know theres million of girls out there just keep going dont let one rejection get me down there more fish in see just because few bad dont mean the other ones are to, now I see in my mind one day I well have here in my arms.

Who Will Help the Little Girl Smile?

Who will help the little girl smile, 
while she watches her Mom be pulled away from her?  
Who will help the little girl smile, 
when she sees her Mom put the needle into her arm? 
Who will help the little girl smile, 
while she wonders where her next meal comes from?
Who will help the little girl smile, 
when she is looking for a permanent place to stay?
Who will help the little girl smile, 
when she does not see her biological Mom for a while?
Who will help the little girl smile, 
while she is dropping that last handful of dirt on her?
Who will help the little girl smile 
or put the sparkle back in her eyes?
Who will help the little girl smile 
as she looks up to the sky and asked why?
Who will help the little girl smile,
when she looks up to God and says, who will love me?

The Foster Parents that's who!

Little Girl Within

You sit at the window sill

And gaze out as if time was still

You think about life 

You realize yours wasn't much of a thrill

Your emotions began to spill

Then suddenly you hear children laughing

Then you see the young girl in the corner they are laughing at

Looking back to their faces they are all smiling and pointing

The girls face became red with shame

In her eyes you saw her wanting to get away

  To fast forward to another day

She began to pick up her papers 

Looking down at the ground

Careful not to look up and let them see her tears coming down

Her whole body trembling in fear

As they look on smiling you can see they did not care

About the girl they made want to disappear

You call out to her and she walks over tears spilling from her eyes

You hand her a tissue and say dry your face

She looks up at you 

Through bright blue eyes clouded with pain

And asked you one simple question

Will life always be this way?

You thought for a second on how to react

In that instance the girl was gone

You search out the window

And realize you were stuck in limbo

The young girl that wished to hide

And stand tall by your side 

Took her place deep inside

You feel her where she resides

The scared little girl no one knew

You touch your hand to your face

Wanting to erase all the pain and mistakes

It was then you realized 

There was no turning back

It was time to remove the mask

You look in the mirror 

Suddenly you can see more clearer

You turn away and take a step towards your new day

As you move forward something tugged at you

And you felt the darkness

You moved on knowing it was the darkness that helped

All the little children with deep pain

That never seemed to go away.

You opened the door to a whole new life

Hoping this time to get it right.
