Six years young
and almost dead
questions and thoughts
racing through her head
was she a bad girl
did she deserve this
most six years olds don't get beatins
they get a hug and a kiss
so why her
why she
couldn't these people
just let her be
ever since "HE"
-that man she had to call 'dad'-
came into Momm'a's life
everythin just got real bad
first momma started smokin
and i don't mean cigarettes
maybe she was tryin to smoke away
all of her regrets...
by forgettin everythin
even her own daughter
was bein treated badly
bein treated somethin aweful!!
one day a friend came to visit
he said his name was Tod
he was about her age, dressed and white
and said he was sent to her by God.
"God?" she asked,
"Why, who is that?"
'Tod' reached and touched her shoulder
and said "i can tell you that.
You see my friend God is love
and all mighty creator.
He sent me here, Amelia,
to tell you that your treater
of harm and pain
and tears and anguish
will get what they deserve,
that they will be punished
But not before you come to him
and see the pearly gates
and see Him, God, in person
see Him face to face."
and so tod left
leaving Amelia in awe
for she couldn't believe what she'd just heard
nor belive what she'd just saw.
and that very night was the night
where she cried away her tears
and she let them fall like pourin rain
and they did pour somethin fierce.
but her parents came in the next night
and beat her till she lay
in a pool of blood and dirt
and in the pool did she stay.
now here we are
back again
to six years young
and almost dead
Tod's come back and
he's holding out his hand
saying saying its time to see
the promised land
and so she reaches out for his
as she drifts away
farther and father to a great land
where she'll forever stay.
