Melissa
11 June, 2011
Author: Wyldflower
I grieve for the little girl lost
For dolls still and silent,for bridges not crossed
For dreams not fulfilled,for beach balls not tossed
I dream of the little girl lost
I think of the little girl gone
Of wishes not granted, of songs left unsung
Of eyes that would sparkle, of hair washed in sun
I think of the little girl gone
I dream of the little girl here
Her talk never ending, her bending my ear
Her teasing, her telling, her smile so dear
I dream of the little girl here
I cry for the little girl still
Her body so fragile, her strong iron will
That soft breathless banter, that giggle so shrill
I cry for the little girl still
I smile for the little girl now
A race won, a champion, a curtsy, a bow
A frame strong and limber, a body that's "WOW!"
I smile for the little girl now
------- Author's Notes -------
My memories for Melissa who came into my life, touched it and left before I was ready to let her go. |
