[bodytext] => Clutching her Teddy Bear, "He's too scared to leave my side Teddy says he needs me He says he is all mine!" No one listens to the little girl Since she is only four Experienced in a life of pain Every new place is like the one before At a far too young age The mere age of two Her parents were murdered What was she to do? Her Teddy had been with her And smelled of her father's love Holding her mommy's care The little girl's only connection above Being pushed into people's lives They found her to be too much Intimidated by the sight of her tears Frightened by her needy touch They sent her on As quick as she came She'd done nothing wrong Yet received all the blame In her fifteenth home Of the past two years They were attempting to take Teddy Despite her pleading tears Behind the sobs Of this young girl's cries "He needs me!" she shrieked Holding him tight "Don't cry Sally, We're going to wash your bear, He's too dirty and gross, This will show him we care." Sally's father figure Tried to convince her of this "Soon he'll be good as new Ready for a hug and a kiss." Sally's eyes grew extra wide Not believing what she was told Through the past two year's she had grown wise More couragous and much more bold She needed to remember Her mother and father's smell So she would still know Things used to be so well Boldly she stood up Hugging Teddy to her chest Facing Sue and Phill She finally confessed "Teddy will not be Cleaned up quick and fast, For nothing can ever be made new, And it's impossible to erase a past." Sue and Phill's jaws dropped At the shock of what she had said How can a four-year-old Have such complex thoughts in her head? Yet Sally taught them a lesson And this with you I will share No one's past can be erased But futures can be laid out with care [comments] => 2 [counter] => 205 [topic] => 25 [informant] => dreamer_4_eternity [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => MiscPoems )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
