Lil' Christmas tree

Author: cafetwo2010

Lil christmas tree with lights
so bright, shine your star for
me tonight
Let mommy and daddy not
fight so much
Let them hug and kiss with
a gentle touch
Oh twinkling lights wash away
my tears
Fill this little girls stocking with
joy not fears
Lil tree I must whisper now
cause I hear shouting in the
other room
Oh twinkle twinkle come real soon
I must hurry now to my secret
room!

A very challenging poem...in so many interpretive ways...how aware are we of the world through the eyes of someone so young? I hope the Christmas angel takes this little girl under her wing....

Cafe...this is a very sad story...unfortunately it is real to many little girls in all corners of the world.. Thanks for sharing this... a reminder that material things is not what everyone longs for .. not even in the eyes and heart of a little girl.

So touching and so deep Jim. No one should go through life coiling in fear because of lack of compassion specially to the young mind of the innocent. But such is life, I guess.

Nice great write if only to teach us lessons in life.

Little tree wipe away this child's
heart felt tears and bring her Christmas joy!

She seeks not goodies or a self sought children's toy

End this childs sadness, ease her parents,
love one's fights

They so overflow into her secret locked up heart
and into her private secret room

Children sometimes do not speak,
But they can overhear!

CafeTwo, very touching heart rendering Poem!
Sounds like you've been there!

Good write

So sad to think children go through this - but I know from first hand experience unfortunately. Please do not fight where your children can hear.

We miss your wisdom Cafe.
