Please

A promise broken,


You said you would keep me.


You said you would stop,


Mommy, Daddy can you hear me?


 


A touch from God saved me,


You two didn’t know how to raise me.


The drugs and alcohol got the best of you,


Mommy, Daddy why aren’t you fighting for me?


 


A tear down my face looking at you for the last time,


You don’t show any emotion on your face.


I’m just a little girl, who wants my parents,


Mommy, Daddy where are your tears?


 


A woman puts out her hand,


You tell me to grab it.


I’m lifted up and carried away,


Mommy, Daddy get better for me.
