read it the poem speaks for itself |
The day she was born you looked down at her with misty eyes counting her fingers and toes tears of joy slid down your cheeks. gently kissing her as she slept you promised to keep her safe from any harm life may bring, don't you remember? You brought her home and the years began to fly your little girl is the happiest any one has seen so full of pride and love you hold her close never wanting to let go each day you gave her millions of hugs and tons of kisses. the first at her side when she cried you dried every tear with millions of hugs and tons of kisses Now a young woman one would never believe she was the happiest anyone had ever seen. her eyes once so bright now dark and cold she sits alone trying to forget all that life has given her through the years seeking shelter in anger and hate, pushing everyone away just so they won't see the tears she cries behind closed doors. longing for your millions of hugs and tons of kisses Watching silently as you hug the others telling herself she is too old to care about such foolish things but if you took the time you could see the truth inside she is still your little girl crying silently for your millions of hugs and tons of kisses. You wonder why she has changed growing more bitter with time it is you who seems to have forgotten the promise made all those years ago instead of protecting her from the pain it is you who has caused it. Don't you see? she feels like nothing, just a living mistake your millions of hugs and tons of kisses nothing more than a distant memory she scarcely remembers the days when she was not "crazy" she was just your little girl basking in the warmth of her mothers millions of hugs and tons of kisses |
