Little Girl Turned Angel

by Melinda   Feb 27, 2004


Little girl with blonde hair and eyes so blue
Pink dress all tattered and torn
Tell me what they have done to you
To make that beautiful smile disappear

In its place are streams of tears
Running down your bruised and dirt streaked face
You cry for help but no one seems to hear
The world just keeps passing you by

Too busy with their own struggles from day to day
Too busy to see how you're hurting
Too busy to listen to what you have to say
If only they would stop and take the time to look

They would see the life that everyday you lead
How your mommy beats you day and night
How your daddy's too drunk to give you the help you need
How your brother has taken your innocence away

And continues to touch you every single night
In these short six years you have lived
You have had so many demons that you've had to fight
Never had the chance to be a carefree happy child

I keep telling myself and God this just isn't fair
Such a beautiful little girl
And not one person seems to know or care
That your life is the way it is

Tell me how you continue to hold on
How do you find the strength?
When most people's would be long gone
Yet each morning you wake up

First thing you do is send a prayer to the skies
That someone will save you from this hell
And put an end to your nightly cries
And let you feel unconditional love

Rather than all this abuse and hate
I want to help you get out of this life you live
I reach my hand to save you from your deadly fate
Your little hand reaches forward

Trying to grasp it with all your might
No matter how close you get, you can't grab on
Then I realize somethings just not right
Why can't I get your hand and get you out of here?

And why do I feel like I've seen your beautiful face somewhere?
Then it hits me and I know who you are
And why it is that I really do care
And why you aren't able to take my hand in your's

You see, that sad little girl is me!
I wonder how this is?
Then I realize my soul had finally been set free
It was too late for this little girl to get any help

Now I'm up in heaven with wings and a halo
I will watch over every little boy and girl
I will be their guardian angel as they grow
For what happened to me, should happen to no one else!

~HEY ALL! PLZ RATE AND COMMENT IT WOULD MEAN A LOT TO ME!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!~
