A Little Girl

 

Before, her world was beautiful

Full of hope, full of truth.

But now, it’s full of darkness

A life that’s now come to rue.

 

So now I’m going to tell you

What really happened here

It’s a story of a girl

Full of doubt, and full of fear.

 

She grew up in a house.

A small one, to be exact.

But even though it was small

Joy seeped through the cracks.

 

Joy was found in every room.

In every situation

Whether good or bad or in between

Joy was the solution

 

Until one fateful night

That joy just seemed to stop

Everything fell silent

The moment she heard the shot

 

The sound rang in her ears

It rang so loud and clear

But even as she fled with fear

She could always hear it here

 

The night it happened,

 It was cold

Not just the air

For everything was rolled

 

Into one hopeless noise

A noise she would remember

For every single day that passed

Every word, a sizzling ember

 

In her mind

Everything’s the same

But in reality

Really, everything’s insane

 

People running wild then

As the shots ring out so clear

People screaming, crying out

As the sound rings in their ears

 

So now she keeps herself locked up

Away from all the world

Hoping one day someone will come

And take her where it’s not so loud

 

Now you know what really happened

To this girl now so full of pain

She heard a shot. She saw the signs

Telling everyone to run away

 

Back to love and back to life

Back to a world where everything was perfect

Where everyone, was happy

And no one knew all the effects

 

She’s older now

But still she hears

That shot that rang

So loud. So clear.

 

Everywhere she goes now

People tell her it’s alright.

To wait cause one day

Everything will turn out just fine.

 

Along the road one day she finds

In front of her a light

It’s in the shape of the shot that rang

So loud that fateful night

 

A voice rang from the light in front

Telling her that’s it alright

Saying everything ok right now

There’s no reason to be afraid

 

I knew you before you were

My creation and my child

And here I am revealed to you

To show you that my love’s not mild

 

It’s not cold, but it’s not hot

It’s something in between

It’s something I can show to you

To show you what I really mean

 

My love for you is deeper

Deeper than the deepest sea

It’s taller than the tallest mountain

It goes farther than the eyes can see.

 

I will always be here

To show just how true it is

That no matter the situation

My love for you always grows

 

It never ceases.

It never stops

Never once has my love

Taken a single day off

 

It's always near to you

It never fades away

So, trust me when I say to you

It will always be this way

 

The light started to dim

And in front of her she saw a sign

For a church. The house of God

And its doors were open wide.

 

She walked towards it slowly

And as she did she heard a sound

It was soft, it was sweet

It gave her warmth all around

 

  She found something

That fateful day

It was warm and it was loving

Something no one could take away.

 

Up till this day she feels the same

That love is everywhere.

It keeps her safe, it showed her grace

It showed that someone cared.

 

Even till the day she died,

That love was in her heart.

She gave it out to everyone

The love God gave her at the start.
