Little girl lost,
Where is her place?
Wondering young eyes,
Sad little face.
How could she chose
one from the other?
On one side is daddy,
on the other is mother.
She should be happy
it seems such a shame.
She has to suffer
when she's not to blame.
She should be running,
laughing, chasing butterflies,
Searching for rainbows, and
catching fireflies.
Please stop fighting long enough
to see what your bitterness has cost.
Look at her, She's a little girl LOST.

This is very touching....adults sometimes get so caught up in there lives that they forget that the children are the most important thing..and consequently the children end up being lost...I know that I had felt this in my life at some point...and have made it my biggest priority to never let my son feel the same way that many children do...he will always know he is loved and have all the attention he want...great writing

thanks for the great comment.. it's much appreciated. i have watched many people become this poem.. me one of them.. i was when i was young.. and now my son is..as young as he is.. i can still see the hurt that stupid decisions, and unnecessary mistakes have caused.. yet now that i am older and closer to my parents.. i wish we could take back everything we said or done.. i watched my mom go through so much and be hurt in so many ways.. and i took it out on my dad in so many ways. which now has made me a stronger person after reconciling with not only them.. but myself. i try everyday to remind my son how much i love him.. which i know it hurts to see mommy and daddy fight..
a simple quote... given to me on the day i gave birth to my son..."we should not live life searching for a miracle, but live as if everything is a miracle". -
AWSOME
Reading this poem, reminds me of my childhood. I was the older of the children so i was supposed to choose for me and my sister..having to choose between mom and dad..lost..not knowing who to pick and not wanting to choose in fear of hurting one of my parents.til this day i wonder if i chose the right way because i never chose..and even now the pain is still there tucked away hidden somewhere.now having a child of my own..i can't imagine putting that burden on my child.. this poem is very good..you manage to describe alot of what i feel and think on the situation..good job..keep writing..

This is so good, your have a way with your words. They fit together quite nicley. My parents were divorced over 7 years ago and it still bothers me. I still feel like the little girl lost. And Warmheart is right. It's just not fair!
-
this is so gorgeous...its just so sad cos no child should ever have to chose between parents - it just isn't fair!
great write!
hugs! kaz xx
