Little Angel
Look at this child
An angel whose wings have been broken
Broken so many times
She no longer believes it possible to fly
Have you ever looked in her eyes
To see the pain that swims so deeply
You can see the hurt
It falls with the tears that course down her cheeks
Has this angel never smiled
Has anything gone right in her world
How can one so small
Experience so much
Where is the joy
Why does no one see
Here is a perfect angel
Lying in the dust broken and bruised
She wonders why
Life has been so cruel
Why no one cares
Whether she lives or dies
She spends her days
Hiding in a corner
Pretending to be invisible
Hoping to avoid the next blow
Why God, have you let this little one suffer so
Her burden is too much to bear
For soon, far too soon
She'll cease to be here
No longer able to feel the blows
That rain even after she has gone
Her broken wings at last mended
She'll fly far from here, finally free
