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.
