Social Worker

Heard you at our door
I was right behind
Locked up in the closet
Because I wouldn't mind

You never asked to see me
Dad said that all was fine
You found peace with that
Of course, no peace was mine

I never dared to cry
Please ask him, oh I pray
You closed the door and left
In here is where I'll stay

Yes I do forgive you
Not asking for me
Time healed many wounds
Some you can still see

My one ray of hope
Walked out our front door
Inside, a little died
Tomorrow, a little more
