Such a sweet little cry

You wriggle and squirm

Innocent, unknowing

You fall into her arms

As she sobs, the tears

Fall on your forehead

She holds you tight

Far away from the disappointment

She feels inside

All the goals she had,

The friends she’s lost

Her life seems one-ended

Like a ‘no exit’ sign

Then you open your eyes

And see her tears

And she stops crying

And gazes at you in amazement

This beautiful child

A split image of her

Such a wonderful gift

She caresses your little fingers

And you smile
