Why Don't Mommy Love Me?
by Linda M Hill → (All Poetry by Linda M Hill)

Dear Lord, I'm only eight years old
and I don't know how to pray-
But there's just a few things that
I really have to say.
My Daddy left us long ago-
but I don't miss him much.
He never cared about me-
We never even touched.

Mommy went out again last night-
She does that alot you see.
She says she has to get away-
She can't be bothered with me!
Why don't Mommy love me, Lord?
All the other children say-
They get lots of hugs and kisses
every single day.

Why don't Mommy love me, Lord?
What did I do wrong?
Why won't Mommy play with me?
Oh, it's been so long.
I tried to fix some cereal, but I spilled
milk on the floor-
Mommy screamed and hit me
like a hundred times before!

Why don't Mommy love me, Lord?
Is there anything I can do?
If she would hug me just one time,
or simply say I Love You.
It's getting dark again, dear Lord-
Won't you please stay with me?
I'm so cold and all alone- Oh,
God, I'm so hungry!

Would you talk to Mommy Lord?
My body's tired and sore-
Tell her not to hit me , please- I just
can't take it anymore!
Someone has to help me Lord-
how long can I hold on?
To a Mommy who don't love me-
One who's always gone!



The shadows are coming closer Lord,
It's a long time 'till the day-
Please stay here and hold my hand, Lord-
PLEASE don't go away!



Authors Note: This should not happen to ANY child. God bless the children who are suffering and hurting from child abuse. We MUST help them. It's not interfering - - it's saving a life! This is a revised repost.

It's ashamed it does happen a lot. Poor kids just want to be loved and fead. The kids do no wrong, it's their abusive parents that do all the wrong. Sad, so sad.....

Wow Linda .... "Why Dont Mommy Love Me ?" ... This poems shows how a child look at his mom for love, care and affection.

There is another side tooo .... How cruel a mom can be ? This is another character of Women ... Wish no mother behave like this picturised in this picture ... BCOZ A CHILD always look for LOVE ... CARE and AFFECTION FROM his MOTHER MORE THAN FATHER ...

great ... keep it up ...
