She was so thin and pale
Never touched by the sun
So fragile and frail
I couldn't think of what they'd done
Long black hair framing her face so fair
Blue eyes, wide and afraid, and........ aware
So young and afraid
She's viewed real horror
And she was never jaded
By those things she didn't care for
She's seen the real world
She's seen what really does happen
Those haunting eyes with so much knowledge
Faced a world that doesn't care
Unless they can stare her down and judge
The person she is by what happened there
She faced us all without any fear
She'd already seen worse
She lived through all that pain
She forgot how to feel
Never let tears fall down like rain
Even though it was all so real
She lived through it
She never gave up
Today I look at my children
All wide eyed and innocent
Asking what happened then
Even though I'm so weary
So I look at them all
And finish my story
I can't forget my little girl
She looked at me and just asked
"Momma, how you still spin and twirl
And act happy
After everything he did to you?"
I just looked at her and said
"Deary, we move on and never hold on to
What is and what never was"
When her grandparents asked her how she was
All she told them was
Today I saw real sadness
Hiding in Momma's eyes
