Holding tight to a tattered teddy bear
Tears falling down her rosy checks
She closes her eyes tightly
What has she done wrong?
Is it her fault that mommy and daddy fight?
She’s not old enough to ask questions
She assumes the worst
It must be me!
Daddy’s never home
Mommy’s always sleeping
And she fills alone
She tries to pretend she’s someone else
Maybe a playmate at school
Better yet, a princess in a magic castle
A land where no one fights or ever leaves
But blaring screams of anger
Overpower her imagination
The tears began once more
She gives her love unconditionally
She’s just a fragile little girl
But what kind of love will be offered?
What kind of love will be shown?
She longs for someone to show her
One who will always be there
Someone to take her away
Away to that magic castle
Where no one fights or ever leaves
Someone like Jesus
He will never leave her
Nor forsake her
But who will tell her?
Who will tell her about Jesus?
