"A Child Remembers"
 
(For all the children in the world who cries this day)
 


The snow was cold
 
Within the child's mind.
 
Who remembers the chill through time.
 
He who clothed the window pane.
 
Only a memory that I have known.
 
It seems to circle father time
 
As that child inside remembers.
 


Emotions ride so very high
 
Thoughts of you go running by.
 
This picture within my eye
 
Haunts with fever and a sigh.
 
If you could see this childs mind.
 
Tears would burn within your eyes
 
Because the child inside remembers.
 


Should you ask, why am I ...
 
So heavy into days gone by ...
 
The childs unrest
 
Heavy in my chest
 
Weight that tends to bare me. 
 
Accusations go fleeting by
 
While the child moves around inside.
 


Little is known, little comfort soul
 
He that doest thou scare you.
 
Emotions formed in tender years
 
To frighten a timid mind.
 
Impressions met by little thighs
 
Awakened too early in time.
 
And inside the child just cries.
 


Can't anyone see whats been done
 
To little girls like me.
 
Or do you just close a widened eye
 
Pretending that nothing was ever there.
 
Never complaning ... what are you doing.
 
Just letting the pain sink deeper inside.
 
But the child whines ... Oh Why?
 


Can't you see me ... this is I
 
The child you left behind.
 
Within your eyes I did see
 
An acknowledgment of he.
 
But far too late
 
You should have seen
 
And spoken for the child who cried.
