My 2 Year Old


A child can break a million hearts, Girl or boy, age doesn’t matter. One look into their innocent eyes, And your heart is all a shatter. They are precious and beautiful, Dirty or clean, size doesn’t matter. They are perfect, but one word from a child, can make your heart shatter. A child loves everyone, they know no difference. White or black, race doesn’t matter. Secrets from a child, They can make your world shatter. For a child can tell a million people, Mommy or daddy, it doesn’t matter. A child being abused, That is what makes my heart shatter. Unfortunately, I know a child like this, Step or biological it doesn’t matter. She is my baby, and to see her go through this, It makes my heart shatter. She has a real mother, But to baby girl, she doesn’t matter. She doesn’t love her, or she would care, This is what makes my heart shatter. I am her step mother, and I want her out of this. Because To me, she does matter.
