"Where's Mommy?"
Sobbing quietly in the dark,
The little's boy's fears running through his mind,
"Where's Daddy?"
The tears streaming down his face,
The streaks of wetness clearly visible
against the dirt that litters his baby cheeks,
His mind crying out for his loving parents,
He doesn't yet realize that they will never be back,
That they will never be there again to hold him after a tear jerking nightmare,
or to give him that magical medicine
that always seemed to work on even his smallest bumps and bruises.
Shivering in the darkness,
With no blanket to shield him from the cold,
With no love to shield him from the hate,
And as the dark world seems to over take him,
He drifts into a deep sleep,
One where he and his parents are together again,
The parents he loves,
The two people that are this little boy's world...
