The Little Girl

I saw a picture of my Mom when she was younger... :/

  The little girl,

  In the old

  Photograph is

  Wearing a knee-high

  Dress.

  The little girl,

  In the old

  Photograph has

  Blond hair.

  The little girl,

  In the old 

  Photograph looks

  Happy.

  Now the little girl

  Is an older women.

  The older women,

  Staring at me is

  Wearing ripped

  Track pants

  And a black sweater.

  The older women,

  Staring at me has

  Grey greasy hair.

  The older women,

  Staring at me is

  Crying. 

  She is too young

  To look this old.

This piece, in all of its simplicity, is full of meaning and truth.
The innocense of a child, of simple memories ripped from her
by the harsh, unforgiving hands of time.
I could write forever about this topic, but luckily, I have other people to do it for me, and you summarized it very well...wow...this is definetly going into my library!
