A Daughter's Cry
I talked to her through a soundproof window,
understanding only somethings, but I talked anyway.
I talked to her through a bulletproof window,
she could see me, but couldn't feel my pain.
I begged her with tears in my eye's.
Pleading for my sister's,
starring at her thin brittle body.
Praying for life to once again enter her eye's.
I prayed for her in front of that bulletproof, soundproof window with a rosery in my hand.
Knowing that all prayers won't be answered when you want them to, but
all will be answered in the end.
