Our Little Girl

This poem is about this little girl that has enter this world with so much confusion, but we still all love her so much.. I wouldn't trade the world, but I would if it would keep a smile on her dear face.. Because she is our world.

Our Little Girl
“I don’t want to see mommy”
She said it with a heartbreaking voice
She starts to cry
We get out of the car,
To say goodbye to her
Her mother came out to get her
She invited us in to see her other baby
She was still crying..
We all gave her a kiss and a hug
As I walked out the door
I couldn’t help but to look back
At her sad, crying face
“Bye Daddy..” the same exact tone..
Heartbreaking and oh so sad..
As we were getting back in the car
We could still hear her crying
And telling us goodbye..
I wish we didn’t have to leave her
At a place that isn’t a home..
It’s a bad environment for a three year old..
The house is beaten, messy and broken..
She doesn’t even have a room of her own..
And with a new baby, she see’s no love for her..
But when she’s with us, we give her all the attention she needs
We love, care, and play with her
I have her face engraved
In my heart and mind..
Her smile lights up the sky
Her laugh makes the birds sing
And her love fills our hearts
She might be my sister’s boyfriend’s daughter
But she belongs to all of us
She is Our Little Girl..

Very sad and I can not connote more love for the child I see more than the one I do not. However, I grow up in a similar situation and this little girl in end will become very head strong.

What an amazingly sad story! I can't help but feel though that at least she has her father and she has gotten to know you and your family so that she can see and know what love and laughter is like. A child should know this all the time... but it is better than not knowing it at all...

Your writing touches my heart always...

this is really sad =[
there was a similar story about a three year old girl who hated going to her fathers house because he was abusive. And since it was in the divorce contract, the mother could do nothing about it.

This is heart wrenching, yet beautiful, at the same time. My heart just breaks for this little girl, having to spend time in an environment that doesn't seem in her best interest. But, to have another family . . . one who loves, appreciates and nourishes her young mind and heart, is what will help form this child into a strong and resilient young woman. So many children are not as blessed.

I have to say, this brought a tear to my eye. I am a strong and fervent supporter in the prevention of child abuse. I'm not saying this child is abused . . . but her tears express the complete and utter sadness she feels when she has to stay at her mother's house, which is a cry that shouldn't be neglected or over-looked.

As always, Kylie, you write with strength and emotion. This poem leaves room for hope and provides the reader with a sense of peace that this child will rise above her situation with the love and support of a family who cherishes her.

Bless you!

I know what breaks your hearts to live with this situation. Fortunately for this young girl, that on the other side of her life, she has you guys to replenish the love she may not be receiving with her mother's living situation. She's lucky to have you guys.

Great, vivid writing once again. I saw the entire poem inside of my mind!

Wow... I can almost see and hear that child now.
I actually think I grew up with a child similar to that who hated to be away from her father.

I hate that a child can't be happy to see both his/her parents. As they get older, they repress memories and I'm sure there's a study out there that dictates a repressed mind isn't healthy. If I took a psychology class, I'd probably understand it better myself and have my own say in what might happen to her in the future.

That mother needs to step up her game and show that child some love. I don't care who you are. When you bring a child in the world, you take care of it. You support it and you love it. If you didn't want a kid then you take the precautions necessary to put yourself in these situations.

It's not fair that the child has to suffer through the parent's incompetence. She shouldn't have to be the one paying the price.

Thank god for people like you, Kylie. Thank god that she has you and everyone else that not only gives a damn about her, but shows her affection and love.
