A LETTER TO MY ONLY DAUGHTER

Dear Sharon, I know you miss your mum Just like you have more unanswered questions than answers When you\'re alone in solitary, you often sit silently, soberly and wonder Why you never had a mother or felt a mother\'s love Why you feel so lonely even when you\'re not alone, But it seems you\'re having an alone time in the midst of a crowd Why you can\'t blend in with the kids in the \'hood Cause of the ridicule you face from neighbours in the neighbourhood. I know you\'re scared, mummy isn\'t here, wipe your tears Daddy is here even in your painful prayers and frightening nightmares
