The Storm
by Donna Frank
A child hurting
Keeps her feelings inside
Lashes out at every turn
Wanting to scream for help
And then she feels the touch of her mother's hand
Loving her
Holding her
Calming her
She begins to cry
Not understanding why she lashes out
At the woman she calls mommy
Wanting so much to tell her mommy that she loves her
But holds back
Not really knowing why
