“Dear Little Girl”
If I could somehow, Talk to the little girl me
And tell her what I know now, I wonder what that would be. Would I tell her all that will occur Or encourage her to go another way? Would I tell her that I believe her And what not to say? Would I warn her of each tragedy that will befall? But then I wouldn’t be the me I’ve come to be- Yet still so much will happen to this little girl so small.
Dear little girl, I know it’s so hard, Living in this nightmare world Where you become so scarred
And your heart gets so broken, From all that you endure. Dear little girl, you are not forsaken, I know you want to feel safe and secure. Dear little girl, you are not alone I know that it feels that way, As you carry all your sadness on your own. Dear little girl, there will come a brighter day, Even though it’s been so very long And you don’t even remember what that is like. Dear little girl, just stay strong. Through every strike,I know how very hard that is- When it never seems to end. Dear little girl, I promise you this, God will send you a wonderful friend More than one actually Who will help you through And become like family, They will surround you. Dear little girl, it’s not your fault. You were never meant to carry this all on your own. I know it’s your default, To carry it all alone. Dear little girl, you are not who you’ve been told By evil ones who just wish to cause you more pain. Dear little girl, you are worth more than gold To the One Who has given you a new name. Dear little girl, you are chosen By the One Who has redeemed you Even with your broken and scarred heart so frozen. Dear little girl, everything that I tell you is true I know how hard it is for you to trust You hold so very much heartache and pain inside Because of this life into which you were thrust Leaving you wanting to run and hide. Dear little girl, who could blame you? You’ve been taught right is wrong and wrong is right With all that you’ve been through You can’t see any light through the endless night. Dear little girl, it’s going to be okay, You are going to make it, And things will be better one day, Even though all this pain, you won’t be able to completely shake it, God is going to use everything For His glory and through all he brings you through it Will be your testimony. Your story, for his glory. Dear little girl, you are wanted, You are His beloved child, Even though your past is haunted And not all has been reconciled. Dear little girl, you are His forever, Not forgotten,But held and treasured His adored begotten. Dear little girl, I know how hard it is To understand and believe That loving fathers do exist, Who will protect you and never leave. But my dear little girl, you are loved, Far greater than you could ever imagine By a Loving Father above oh I know how hard that is to fathom!! His love is a love that is true it’s The kind of love that I know you dream about Because dear little girl, I am you; So trust me and have no doubt That we are going to make it through. Things will be better one day, I promise you And we will be okay in the end …
