Little Girl Lost
she sits across the room and smiles so sweet;
no one is aware that underneath
she hides her pain from all around;
little girl lost, never to be found.
they say she's crazy, watch out for her,
she's not known to play well with others.
but if that's true , then all i can say
is maybe they should walk in her

Poem written by my little daughter
When I go to the park
I climb right up to the top of the slide and slither down quick the other side ..
I swing up high and then down low whirling round fast as I can go ...
I like to hang from the climbing frame and ride in

The little girl at the muesum
Museums
A place full of stories
Of art
Not just in the paintings
But in the people too
A little black girl walking hand in hand with her mother
Her eyes lit up in wonder
Wandering what she would discover
While she walks around
Spinning around
And jumping up and down
She doesn't see
That everytime she jumps the light reflecting on her beautiful

Little Girl
It hit me just today
I saw her in a whole new way
Birthday dinner, just her and I
A thought brought a tear to my eye
Has always been "my little girl"
Now she's about to face the world
Seen her grace of a woman before
Now seeing so much more
Just a girl of seventeen
Trying to find life and what it

How do you tell them their little girl will die?
I am 15 years old.
They say my mind is scattered stars,
too many, too bright, too far apart.
A sky that sparkles wildly,
never settling into constellations.
I try. God, I try.
To sit still in a room that moves faster than me,
to focus while my thoughts
bounce like marbles down cathedral halls.
The world whispers lazy
while I carry lightning in my

To My Little Girl, Always
I held her first before the world,
A tiny hand, a dream unfurled.
So small she lay upon my chest,
My loudest heart, my quiet rest.
She looked at me with eyes so wide,
As if I’d hung the stars with pride.
And in that gaze, I clearly knew,
My life had found a purpose true.
I taught her how to tie her

That little girl
I remember that little girl who never doubted what others said
I remember that little girl who believed that everyone was her friend
I remember her
I admire her
She was so innocent and had such a pure heart
She would cry when she realized not everyone was going to like her
I miss her
She trusted so blindly
She

Home
Take yourself home,
It has been a long night,
He said you were out of his comfort zone,
A topic for another fight,
No texts, no calls on the phone,
You still await, for a flashing car light,
Don't you see girl, you are standing here alone,
Under the only flickering street light,
Your heart on the floor, disowned
A cry in your throat

Little Girl
i was once a little girl
that girl wouldn't shed a tear
she was strong and brave and madly courageous
she stuns me, every year
she was made of steel
a heart of diamond
loving like many, but it wouldn't be too obvious
she was everything she had to be, and more
she was everything she knew she'd never be

Sometimes I miss the little girl I used to be, sometime I miss when I only cared about me, the tears I cry at night, that were never cared for right, I kept them to my self, so that you never knew, how much I cried over people like you, sometime I wonder if you

Daddy's Little Girl
Hello, allow me to introduce myself.
I wish my name was free,
free as in not physically and mentally restrained.
Sort of like how animals in the jungle can’t be tamed and how birds in the sky are never chained.
Hello, allow me to introduce myself.
I wish my name was unique.
My schedule is the same every

LITTLE GIRL
THROUGH THE RIVERS OF GANGES
BY THE VILLAGES FAR FROM CITIES CROSSING MILES AND MILES
NO ONE HEARS LITTLE GIRL'S SINGLE LITTLE CRY
BY THE HEART OF THAT MOTEHR WHO VOICE IS SHUT DOWN
BY THE HEARTLESS FATHER WHO HAS NO REGRET OVER TO HIS LITTLE LAST CRY
NO ONE COULD HEAR HER , HEAR HER FOR

Little girl
All the life, hearing cluttering of weapons is rough,
Being a single daughter is tough.
Last I remember, you held me when I was six,
I was injured and you were trying to fix.
Mama died saving me, I needed immediate attention,
But your one stare and even at that tender age, I was an addition to your tension.
I felt

The Little Girl who learned to love Lightening
When Gabriella was 5 there was a terrifying storm.
She woke up and screamed as loud as she could.
No-one answered so she ran into her parent’s bedroom.
Her Mother and Father were hiding under the bed.
Gabriella crawled under the bed with them.
All night the lightening crashed and seemed to be very close to their house.
Some thing strange
