*In dedication, from a mother, to her beloved daughter!

All alone
Even
With everyone 
At home..
And yet
They still did not notice..
You
All alone

Except

For a hidden
Empty cradle

Cradled within
A broken heart
Sack cloth and ashes
And blackened stone..

In some ways 
I feel such pity
For people like you
How could you know
What to do?

To know such things
You have to know the person
Or at least stop
Only pretending too

Know
That beloved girl
Down your stairs 

Feeling like a stranger
In a "lets not talk about anything"  
Strange land

So all by herself..

Strong yet tormented
Alone and scared

Needing a reassuring hand
But the only hand
You played in this
"Momentous plan"
Was not returning her
Better off
Then when she came..

Now left holding onto
Some seriously
Real life
Pain..

And anyone
That really knows
Her
Would know

That from now till the end..
She'll never, ever again
Be the same.

Sent down to her knees 
On the cruel ground

That held her mothers tears
So long ago..

Now her daughter
By herself
Tries to sob away
The very same pain

That held them
Both prisoner
(And)
Wouldn't let them go

(But)

We learn to forgive
Thanking our God
For a Daughter's love
That heals a Mother's pain..

As Mommy reaches out
Hoping for her daughter
That she may one day

For her own girl 
Do the same..
