OP: it's a sad story when a child wishes for death. Not that a child would know what they were doing; just that those questions shouldn't even
enter a childs' mind. To want to be somewhere else in happier times and not to really know what that somewhere else means is understandable. Still
I wish it could have been different.
You are correct Luxordephi. I added some fiction in this poem but the little girl was talked about by Mother and Grand Mother when I was a little boy,
From what I can remember she would say she wanted to be with her real Mom and Dad and she was found deceased in bed one morning. I feel as a writer
it's ok to push the enveloupe in a harmless way at times.Thank you for your words and Merry Christmas to you forever
