Poetry: I cried for you

8 of 15

by Kristy Bolander

Created on: May 01, 2010

I went and bought a paper today,

Dreading what it might say.

I'm praying the visitor wasn't right,

And my daughter didn't die last night.

I turned away when times got hard

And never even returned a card.

I may not have wanted her to hold,

But I never meant for her to sleep in the cold.

I went and bought a paper today,

And cried at what it had to say.
