The girl stood at the window in silence,

simply staring at the flowers in the garden,

and watching the other children play.

She wanted nothing more than to join them.

To play in the garden and be a child,

if only for a day.

Her mother knew of her daughters sadness.

She wished that it could be different for her little girl.

But she also knew that without proper supervision and care,

it had to always be this way.

So her mother sighed,

and simply walked away.

As she did,

her daughters tears filled the hall with sounds,

that broke her heart

and made life empty.
