Not Enough...

I am Sorry.

Those three words are not enough;

to convey the Horror and Heartache I felt

as you were dragged from my home

by your “Loving Father and Grandmother”.

I am Sorry.

Those three words are not enough;

To stop the flow of tears as I watched you

reach out your two little arms and begged for me to help you

While I stood by helpless...Hopeless.

I Am Sorry.

Those three words are not enough;

To make you understand why the Police Officer

was making you leave with people you so

openly were terrified of.

I Am Sorry.

Those three words are not enough;

to explain why the Protection Order was

a useless piece of paper because no one

believes that a 5 year old has right too.

I Am Sorry.

Those three words are not enough;

To let you know how much I want to stop this madness

and protect you from the system that has failed you.

I Am Sorry.

Those three words are not enough!

But they are the first thing I will say to you when you come home.

I can only hope I LOVE YOU are three words

that someday WILL be enough.

Lil'Ammaw loves you.
