what happened



to that little girl
with little fingers
little toes
big smile

the little girl
who i rocked
back and forth
paced
back and forth with
because she could
not find comfort
on her own

the little girl
i held so tightly
and could not
let go
no matter how
painful
her screams were

the little girl
who i played
dolls with
pushed on the swings
chased after
in the park

the little girl
who needed me
depended on me


she is now
growing up
becoming
her own
as i continue
to devote myself
patiently waiting
for her to return
