Oh my little one
How I wish I could have been there for you
When your heart was breaking
And you felt so alone.
But I am here for you now.
I wish I could have held you
And rocked you and told you
That it was okay.
I would have told you that you belonged,
That you were wanted and loved.
That you were more than just cute,
That you could do anything.
But I’m telling you now.
Little one how I wish
I could have been there to defend you
When it was us against the world
And you felt so all alone.
But I am defending you now.
How I wish I could have
Stood up for you and screamed,
I Matter!!!
My feelings count and I deserve better!
I stand with you now.
