A young girl's tale
an emotive poignant wail
often told in flashback form
this book is not the norm
It may switch from point of view
I'm sorry this I rue
I wrote from the child's perspective
she made me very reflective
the mam appears now and again
when the girl allows, only then
writing this made me sad
and very mad
but I've given her a voice
again, I'm afraid she had no choice
