Thelma Murphy Poems

Please dear child do not cry, for your pain is running deep.
Your parents do not understand the hurt they have caused.

You try so hard to please but failed.
...

My hair is grey now and my body broken.
My mind is not as sharp as it once was.
But I have time to reflect on the dreams
and hopes I once had.
...

Remember dearest child
We gave you life.
But that is all we can give you.
...
