GROWING PAINS

When you were a little girl
hurting when you fell,
I had the magic power
to kiss and make it well.
No matter what your problem,
I could always find a way
To make your heart believe
everything would be okay.

But today he broke your heart
and I can only sympathize.
Somehow I just can't reach
the pain that's in your eyes.
For there comes a time in life
when mommy can't restore
The happy little smile~
the "Magic" works no more. . .
