Poor Little Girl

Poor little girl why do you cry?
I see the tears falling out of your eye.
You don't deserve to be hurt
By a father that is a flirt.
How dare he hurt you!
I think he deserves to be hurt too.
You're too young and too sweet to be beat.
Why does he constantly go out and get drunk?
Come on lets go upstairs and I'll help your pack your trunk.
Your father wasn't a man.
He shouldn't hit you just because he can.
He was stupid.
He shouldn't have done the things he did.
You don't have to live here in this house of horror.
I think that you should just move on farther.
Now that you're out,
Come on jump up,be happy,and shout,
Cause you're the best.
Way better than all the rest.
Now go ahead and have a fest!

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
