My wonderful
little child of light and joy..
You were a
fountain of what childhood should be.
A link
in a family who loved.
How did I miss
when you took that step
Into a dark
place.
A place I
can not follow into
A place that
I can not pull you back from.
I can
only catch glimpses of my child
In the
shadows of that dark place
you
inhabit now.
Sometimes
in my dreams,
I hear
the child in you
Calling
for me to hold you close...
Please
Mommy, make these tormenting
devils
go away from me.
I struggle
in my dreams to reach you,
And
then I awake to reality of the day.
And I pull
your children closer to me.
It is
all I can do for you now.
