"Did i upset mommy??" The little girls said pulling on her grandpa's coat. "Is that why she left me?", Tears started down her face and on the words she choked. "I didnt get to say i was sorry", She looked into her grandpa's tired eyes. "I dont even know what i did", "She promised never to leave my side!" The grandpa held the little girl close, Her body shivering with fear.. His heart breaking more and more, With every shed of the little girls tear. "Mommy had problems", The grandpa tried to explain. The little girl only 5, Didnt understand anything but pain. "When is mommy coming back?" "I promise to be good!" "Oh my love" her grandpa said, "If only she could..." "Mommy went to a place called heaven", "she's watching over you day and night". "She loved you very dearly", "She's not in pain anymore everythings alright". The little girl weeped, Day after day Wondering why mommy left her, And why she couldnt stay... Her mommy went out one night, Never to return. Called to the hospital, The family hurried with concern. Mommy had OD'd, Life was too tough. She didnt have a husband, Raising a child on her own was rough. Just couldnt deal, Couldnt live w/herself. Too many memories, Cropped up on a shelf.

Oh man, this is so sad. I hope the little girl eventually can learn that it was not her fault that her Mommy went away. Dawn |

So sad... Man! this is sad. Great job. One of those that kind of grabs you and makes you go Damn!!! I liked it alot. Thought maybe the ending needed something more though, otherwise it was excellent. Jon "Only God can judge me" Tupac Shakur |

Wow... this was definitely a tear-jerker. You did a beautiful job portraying such a real life incident. I think that this grabbed many people. After reading it through, I had to sit back, and really think about how thankful I am for my life to be the way it is. Thank you for posting this poem, you did a very nice job, and I enjoyed it bunches. ![]() --Marie If there's one thing I've learned, it's that the most frustrated people in the world are those who know they're stupid, but keep trying anyway. |
