Like the ghost in all legends
that haunt throughout time
doomed to walkd through the hallways
finding
no peace of mind.

what will it take
to lay this child to rest
to give this mind a peaceful life
to finish up the business
left undone so many years in the pass.

Then
the child will know
it wasn't the pain or sorrow she bore
that won at last
it was she
a mere child of four.
