(since semi-colons don't register properly in this forum -- they delete everything that follows them -- I've had to replace them with .... dots) Little Girl Lost As Christmas Day comes 'round again, my thoughts return to you... to days when life was simple and our views were not askew. Our hopes were so alive back then and -- damn it -- you were, too. As kids, we knew security... saw promise in our world. We dreamed in vivid colour of our futures yet unfurled: imaginations oysters, possibilities were pearls. I wish I could go back to when our innocence was whole. I'd nurture and protect those things that fortified your soul, and chase away the evils that would take such mortal toll. I hope you know how much I grieve -- wherever you may be -- for all those childhood fantasies that now will never be. Your death has also cruelly killed that little girl in me.

This is heartwrenching... I'm so sorry that you had to experience such a loss. Memories might be hard to look back on, but they will always be there, serving as a reminder of what she meant in your life. *hugs* Keep writing about it... it helps. I really enjoyed this piece, thank you for sharing it. --Marie "It's been a long December, and there's reason to believe that maybe this year will be better than the last." (Counting Crows) |

Thank you, Dawn and Titus, for your kindness in replying. Thanks especially, Titus, for comments on its "construction". I appreciate even the simplest mini-critiques! :) |
