Please

January 26, 2014

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.
