Little Girls Talk With Jesus

A little girl
had gone to bed.
She began to
cry, then she said,

"Jesus, Why'd you
take mama away?
I miss her so bad
each and every day."

"She's not here,
to comb my hair,
to sing to me
when I am scared."

"She's not here to
wipe away my tears,
can't kiss my booboo,
when I get hurt here."

Jesus said, "Child,
mama was very sick,
her meds for cancer
wouldn't do the trick."

"I made sure an angel
carried her up above,
wanted me to tell you
she sends you her love."

"To let Me be the one
to mend your heart,
to stop your tears,
before they start."

"To keep you safe
from all harm,
even under the
moon and stars."

"To walk beside you
each step of the way,
let you know you'll
see her some day."

Jesus, "Please tell
her I love her, too,
with her now gone, it's
broke my heart in two."

She finally had
fallen asleep.
until her alarm
did go beep.

I write this as I look through the tears this piece brought to me. Of course I am an old softy. Very moving and thought provoking piece of work. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much to reviewing. I began to write poetry on and off for fun a couple of years ago, but got really serious about it and would love to get a couple books published. Don't know if it will ever happen though. Again, thanks
