Crying Non-stop

In my building there is a little girl.

This little girl must be around three.

She cries all night and day.

Her cry is loud and there is no glee.

I sometimes wonder why she cries so much.

It can be 4 am or 4 pm the screams reach my ears.

Perhaps she cannot speak;

Perhaps she is in pain;

Perhaps she is sad; or

Perhaps she is just used to it.

For whatever reason she may have,

I cannot help wondering what it may be.

Every now and then I hear her grandma scream;

For her cry is so loud that that is the only way anyone can be heard.

There are times when I feel like knocking on their door;

But then it is really not my place to be.

Hopefully one day all this will come to a stop.

Hopefully she will transform these tears into laughter.

In the meantime, I will keep my fingers crossed.
