A 9-year-old Alabama girl is dead after her grandmother and stepmother … Police say the girl was ordered to run for 3 hours as punishment for lying to her …
Backstory: I was very moved by the story of this young girl’s death. I selected a name and oddly found a composition that matched. I only listened to the first few stanzas when I knew it was a perfect fit. I opened my laptop and notepad, dimmed the lights, turned on the music, closed my eyes and typed. One word was changed.

Tears of Remorse
Forgive me
Forgive me
I only wanted your heart
Forgive my deception
Forgive my lies
I am but a child
I only want your love
See my tears of remorse
have pity upon my small soul
On and forwards I go
every day a blur
I want to come from the shadows into the light
I want your hand to take me there
Please…love me
please care for me
I want to go round and round
in the bright days of tomorrow
the grass at our feet
the wind in our hair
I want to be as one
I want to go with you
please love me
please see
my tears of remorse
