Little girl in the rain
As her reflection bounces back to the pupils of her eyes
From the puddle of water below her feet
Her fragile body bruised and in pain
Her knees weak
Her body limp
Her head lowered with tears in her eyes
As she cries out loud
But No one hears
I see her from a distant
As I watched with disbelief
Little girl in the rain
Stomach growling
In search of her next meal
I reached out to her
To Give her words of advice
In hopes of helping to change someone else’s life
Or even giving them the chance to move forward past the pain
Creating new memories
And with strength she gains
Little girl in the rain
I humbly asked you
Try the best you can and wash away your stains
Pick up your pieces and put them back together again
Little girl in the rain
She stared at me
Uttering words
With uncertainty
She nodded her head
Then looked at me and said
“I know!”
Each time I tried
Those were her words
Little girl in the rain
I broke down in tears
Watching her as she swayed from side to side
As a drunken wobble person in the dark late night
To see an beautiful angel standing in front of my eyes and my help she denies
Little girl in the rain
I pray you find your light
Inside of me
I will continue to try
It breaks my heart in two
But I promise I will try my best to help
With the simplest words of advice
And
Not just that
I will try to lift your spirits high
Encouraging you to do better with your life
Giving you compliments
As others defame your character as a child
I have faith
And in God I pray for the
Little girl in the rain
