[hometext] => I was in a cemetary when I wrote this, I was inspired by one grave marker that was just a simple cross.
[bodytext] => A simple cross stands in an empty field It marks the spot of a nameless child She was but three Still young and seemingly full of hope but So much can be hidden Behind her happy mask The beatings, the harsh words, the burning and the touching Her cries and screams echoed through the house As her mother sobbed behind the locked door She thought her daddy loved her What did she do wrong? Can she fix it? Or must he give her more? One night he snapped and beat her body till it bled and bled No more can she endure She cried out for her mother who ran to see the sight Her daddy ran right out the door Her mother held her body limp and raw A small grave her mother dug to bury her baby gurl And walked away to find a new life Never to return That simple cross still stands there It marks the spot of a nameless child Who was but 3 And no one mourns this little girl And no one ever will.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
