Mommy, Mommy I have a new friend She likes the swings, like me She’s so nice and pretty She’s very shy, but she really liked my stickers Mommy, Mommy My new friend told me today That she likes to paint And that she wishes she was pretty Mommy, why didn’t she believe me when I told her I thought she was pretty and that I wanted to be just like her? Mommy, Mommy My friend said she’s sad She told me that my stickers and the candy, I offered, Wouldn’t make her sadness go away I don’t understand, Mommy I thought candy made everyone feel better She said she didn’t need a doctor She said it wasn’t like when your tummy hurts Mommy, Mommy While my friend was pushing me on the swings, She told me that she wants to go away To somewhere that she knows she’ll be happier Mommy, can we take her to the zoo? Would that make her sadness go away, Mommy? Mommy, Mommy I found out that my friend likes to paint on her arms She told me that it’s not art Mommy, she told me hurts herself on purpose I asked her why she’d do such a mean thing to herself And, Mommy, she told me that she does it to make the other pain away Mommy, what else makes my friend hurt? I don’t understand She told me that she cries at night She said that I had to keep it a secret, But, Mommy, I know you won’t tell anyone her secret Mommy, why do you look so sad? Mommy, why is my friend sad? Mommy, what can I do to make her better? Mommy, why are you crying? Mommy, do you want a hug? Mommy, Mommy My friend wasn’t at school today I had no one to swing with or trade stickers with I think my friend is sick She was quiet yesterday, But she told me that I was her best friend Mommy, I have a best friend! Mommy, Mommy My best friend hasn’t been to school all week I swing alone and it’s not as fun without her Mommy, can we go see her? Mommy, Mommy You tell me my friend is gone That she’s in the happy place that she always wanted to be Mommy, why didn’t she tell me bye? Why did she have to go? Mommy, you say there’s a place I can go to see her Mommy, I didn’t know I would have to wear black And bring flowers Mommy, you said I would get to see her Oh, Mommy, please don’t cry Mommy, Mommy I understand now That my friend was sad And that hugs and stickers and my candy wouldn’t make her better Mommy, I don’t want her to be sad Mommy, Mommy Do you promise she’s happy now? Do you think I’ll get to see her again? Mommy, Mommy I understand now That zoos and candy won’t make me happy, Not without my best friend Mommy, Mommy I miss my best friend When will she come visit me? Mommy, I’m sorry I keep making you cry Mommy, Mommy My friend isn’t coming back, is she? Mommy, I can’t stop crying Why is she gone? Was I a bad friend, Mommy? Mommy, I understand why she wanted the pain go away, now But, Mommy, Why did she have to go too? {-ksf}
