I want to express my deepest sympathy 
For the little girl you lost inside
She used to be so forthcoming 
With such self worth and pride. 
Slowly tortured for years on end 
By strangers, herself and even friends 
She eventually decided to just walk away 
She wasn't meant for this earthly decay 
But in her withered oppressed soil 
She grew another that was rich as oil
Rich in joy and sent from above 
So small and fragile -Full of undeniable love. 
She grew from her mothers sorrow and pain 
Ready to grow strong and able to sustain
She breathes life into her moms tragedy 
But only ones close to her can see
How truly precious this baby came to be
She looks at her mom with unspoken words and says "with my deepest sympathy".
This is not my poem. My wife wrote it because she was inspired to do so by reading through HP. Thank you all for inspiring both my wife and I!
