Saluting with misty eyes

0 posted 2003-09-01 11:56 AM



Lost little girl standing on her own
Crying, shaking, wondering why
A little love is all she asks
Yet gets none from the one at home
He stands there listening
Knowing that she is in pain
Yet he comforts her not
Alone she stands
In the rain of her own tears
Caused by the hurt of her heart
He knows she needs him there
A gentle hug, a healing kiss
He ignores her silent pleading
And walks away when she cries

We are all equal but we’re individually different
and able to reach the impossible if we try.

Very touching, and sadly true in many cases of child neglect. Chris

This title has haunted me all day ...

This - ...

'Alone she stands
In the rain of her own tears'


... so tenderly, tenderly touching~

Compelling read~

Ringo, this is a very touching poem.
It made me cry too. I could almost see her.
I wish that I could hug every one of the little children
who long so for just a little attention.
Hugs to you for this

neglect is a very serious problem, and I am glad you adressed it. this was heartwrenching. like being left out in the rain.

This theme you chose translated elsewhere as I read it...to relationships that grow cold, and circumstances that cannot be changed.
There is a tenderness in your write that is very special. TD
