Listen to me
my girl
I know it’s hard
I know you hurt
but it won’t always
Life was made for you and me in all ways
They make fun
of me
of you
an old lady and a girl
young mothers
with their children in tow
She’s gone
I know it’s hard
I know it hurts
She was my girl too
Beautiful, like you
deep and full of sorrow too
Let them laugh at the old lady
when she picks you up from school
Let them ride in fancy cars
while we walk
head high giggling
all the way home
Let them believe they steal moments
with the corner of their eyes
pretending not to look
they don’t know
that you are loved
more than most
They don’t know
that the stars
