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
