The Death of a Mother

I cry for you every night,
my heart so alone and full with fright.
My daddy is in jail,my mommy in the ground, everywhere i go no one makes a sound.
They don't know what to say to me, they don't know what i saw, they don't understand that my daddy broke the law.
I guess he was full of anger and took it out on her, this leaves my sad and little heart alot i have to endure.
I watched him as i did it i was in the other room, I never knew coming home from school could bring such doom.
The phone lines were dead as i dialled 911, suddenly i knew mommy's life on Earth was done.
I go to her funeral see scars that daddy made, I don't your memory to ever ever fade.
I'm living with my aunt now and my little brother too, I want to cry all the time but I dont know what to do.
I'm all alone now with no father or mother of my own, I just wish i could call mommy up in heaven on my telephone.
I hold the animal she gave me every single night, and sometimes i swear i feel her tucking me in tight!

**This is a true story of a young girl in the 5th grade and her brother in the 1st. I was helping them out at a Grief Busters group for children and it made my heart hurt. I can't even imagine to begin the horror they feel or saw. Please comment and vote it would mean alot to me..and them.**
