I am so sorry

Sometimes I wonder what I could have done differently

I am so sorry
I didn't
give the child
a simple hug

I am so sorry
I didn't
give the child
a small smile

I am so sorry
I didn't
take the burden of that pain
Onto my own shoulders

I am so sorry
I didn't
stop for one second
to say I love you

I am so sorry
I didn't
But the point is
I didn't

A tear drop
Heavy, fat liquid
Sits on the small, helpless cheek
of a child

Did I put it there
Did I? No
Did I remove it?
Did I? No

Would a simple hug
make it go away?
Would a simple smile
Make it be the only one?

Would it help
If I suffered too?
Would it help
If I cried with you?

Would someone saying
"I love you"
Bring even a sweet
innocent smile?

Tears are easily dried up with love and knowing someone cares. It is hard to keep crying when someone says it is o.k. to let go and I love you and smiles at you. Good reading and I loved this little piece. The child needs to know you love her and are with her at all times.
