My Little Treasure
My little treasure with such large and needy glistening eyes
She has an angelic face so soft her rosy cheeks do beam
She is short of stature though within her she encases a large loving heart
She doesn’t ask for the world just that I am a part of it
I held her only briefly too short a time for such an abundance of love to share
She asks nothing impossible of me only to be held and loved
Sadly abandoned by those she trusted and loved so dear
Her eyes so deep and yearning as if to beg me to steal her away
So far away where hurt and pain dare not follow
So far into the quiet solace of her little dreams
My little treasure so young and fragile she is
I feel her slipping away can I save her from where she hides
Can I help her find her way to the paradise she needs
Much pain in her sweet little face I can barely glance
I pray I can save her from this cage that is her little life
In death I lost my own little treasure so many years ago
My granddaughter needs that love I saved and buried so deep inside
A love that stands the test of time never to depart
I pray now for solace and wisdom from my grand creator
Great courage and strength I pray will lead me in this journey
