Somewhere... out there...

she tries so hard
to do what's best
she loves her with
her every breath

but she never planned
on doing this
alone

all day she works
no time for rest
she gives until
there's nothing left

though she never planned
on doing this
alone

he stops over
now and then
'plays daddy' and then
he's gone again

leaving her to keep
on doing this
alone

in dark of night
you'll hear her cry
as fragile pieces
of her die

'cause she never planned
on doing this
alone

but with the sunrise
comes the light
her little angel
hugs her tight

and reminds her that
she's really
not alone

This is so sweet... She's lucky to have you for a friend. .  

With a little piece of tomorrow,
You'll have to kiss yesterday goodbye.
Because today won't last forever,
And the past will only make you cry.

Have to put in my five cents.  This is well-done.  There are all too many of us doing it alone, dealing with all the daily frustrations while Daddy gets to look like a hero. Thanks for sharing this.

Good, in both style and subject

Sometimes you have to let go and move on,
But never let go of the memories.

but with the sunrise
comes the light
Her little angel
hugs her tight.

and reminds her that
she's really
not alone.

That is so wonderful...all to often people forget what they are doing it for....but you said it all.  You could have the worst day and one of those hugs just takes it all away. Thanks for expressing it so clearly.

Vicky, this is as beautiful as your golden heart.  You honor your friendship with her just in the thought you offer but to attach that to a poem as lovely as this makes you that one special friend that everyone needs and she has that in you.
