I hear her cries echoes in my ears , I try to reassure her as I wipe away her tears.
She cries and cries an into the night , I try to comfort her and ease her fright.
But the echoes get louder as my reality comes clear, I can not comfort her and calm her fear.
He tears they fall for her mommy that is lost , the road she took let her children bear her cross.
I can not replace her to them nor will I try , all I can do is hold her as she cries.
She may never know the pain I feel for her, the echoes in my ears cause my heart to stur.
A little bit of anger mixed with pain, as her tears fall down like pouring rain.
I hope her mommy again will find her way , and come home to them this time and stay.

Stored with so many forgotten things
Grumbling
Every so often you sit and stare
And dream of those days long since past
When you were a child without a care
Never thinking
