Answer, Hollywood, Answer

Death came early for her.

A life taken left no words.

How will the little ones survive,

knowing their parent should still be alive?

Will they look around when life gets hard,

thinking this is it, I will play my own card?

How much the pain must break their hearts.

So many tears, yearning for a new start.

Little ones, she loved you ,she did.

Hollywood is a bad habit for kids.

Hopefully there are words for you,

to help you when older, to get you through.

You are amazing, haven't met you but I know.

Nothing could be sadder, then a little one's sorrow.

If ever a friend you need, there are many who care.

I am so sorry little ones, sometimes a mommy's life is not fair.

Past the glitz and  Rodeo drive,

let the little voices of Hollywood come alive.

i can really relate to this. my mother died when i was a kid. it broke my heart. fifty years later and i still think of her every day. you have taken on a difficult subject here, holly. and you have told the truth -- the pain -- as it is. an extraordinary poem. -- david

"hollywood is a bad habit for kids"

that is such a profound line...

careful in two spots here..."a little one's sorrow"
and next line "there are many who care"

but a really sad write...i was thinking of the country singer who just committed suicide..

i always feel for those who think there is no better solution or way out...but i have been there a few times myself...so i know it gets like that.

the ones who suffer the most are those left behind.

[Holly Mason]

that is who was on my mind...so sad I could cry for those children 10months old and mommy and daddy gone because of suicide within a month...I can not think of anything that is harder...poor children
thank you as always
