Pretty in every way,
she may have her moments,
but I love her all the day.
Its hard to look at her,
with her beautiful dark eyes,
her mother is in trouble,
always having to say their goodbyes.
Its hard to hear her cry,
mommy don't leave me!
I close my eyes,
and I wish I could flee.
Every day was a struggle,
She acted out in every way,
she would be more difficult,
but all I could do was pray.
Finally the day came,
she was excited to see her,
when her mommy did come home,
but things were still a blur.
A short month went by,
and everything seemed OK,
but then the news broke,
which brings us to today.
Her mommy went away,
back into rehab she went,
for six months this time,
I wish she would repent.
Despite her mommy's problems,
she has nothing to with them,
she still is a beautiful toddler,
and she is quite a gem.
We laugh at her everyday,
she can sometimes be bad,
but today she isn't,
today she is very sad.

It is sad when children have to suffer because of the mistakes of their parents. It can leave a child scarred.
I grew up surrounded by alcoholism and addiction. I know first hand the kind of problems it can cause for a family, and for a child of that family.
A well written poem about a very real problem. Great job!
