Still My Girl By Larry Chadwick I have this pain I have not shared, It’s been hidden deep inside my heart. Coping comes in such strange ways, I suppose so we won’t fall apart. She was only two years old, Blue eyes and blonde hair curls. Little miss personality plus, Could she give my heart a swirl. Abandoned by her mother, Weeks of awaiting her return. So completely incredible to me, How it made my heart burn. In the instant that I saw her, I wanted her for my own. Bonded by that moment, And the love she had shown. I cried that day as I do now, As she would never be mine. Lord how I wonder now, If she is doing just fine. I placed her in a home, Where children were not born. A delight to all concerned, But how my heart was torn. I know she is a woman now, But in my heart a little child. She called me “Lolly Bubbles”, I wanted to call her my child.

Hello Larry How deeply moving was this story. I felt your pain and I could feel the love you had for this child. Your words were so full of love and longing and I too hope that this child went to a good home where she was surrounded by people who loved her. I am sure she has never forgotten you. Take care......Sue Suetang |

Sue, She did. And they moved to Florida the next year and that is all I know. I desparately wanted her as mine as we had an instant bond. Life can be so hard. I hadn't dealt with that pain in 15 years and it made me cry again. Thank you so much for your understanding.  |

I know she is a woman now, But in my heart a little child. She called me “Lolly Bubbles”, I wanted to call her my child. This is truly heartbreaking, Larry  ~hugs~ copyright2002 Lyra Nesius |

She lives on these words you write, and the place you've made for her in your heart. It's hard when we're left with the feelings that we could have done things differently, and even harder that we can't go back again. Touching poem Larry, I'm glad you shared this. |

Sorry to hear of this myself Larry, the effort you made to see her; at least she has a nice home and should know that you have a spot in her heart for her |

Larry, I wonder sometimes about finding my parents, if they feel this way about me. I was adopted at 8 months old. God bless you. |
