The little girl was old. Maybe you'd call her peculiar. I knew it the last time I saw her. Her clothes weren't like other little girls; she was young but she wasn't. Her posture was older, wiser, her eyes they were ancient. She had ancient eyes. No, this girl wasn't like other girls at all. 

The last time I saw the girl she came out of the ruined place. How she got there I'll never know, but I looked up from my cruiser on the corner of 8th and Thibodaux and there she was walking out of the ruined place. This girl with the ancient bombardier blue eyes, with the long blonde hair and that was the last time I saw her. What was this beautiful girl with the tangled blonde hair doing in the ruined place?

The girl walked out of the ruined place and with a tenacious look in her bombardier blue eyes, she went south on Thibodaux and I wondered what is this beautiful girl doing? What is this peculiar girl with the long blonde hair doing coming out of the ruined place?

The girl, she was rough. You could tell it by the look in her ancient eyes, by the clothes she wore. She wasn't like other girls; she walked with a methodical step. She was in no hurry to get out of the ruined place yet she walked with purpose, this girl with the bombardier blue eyes. 

The girl, the beautiful, tangled looking, tenacious, peculiar blue eyed girl came out of the ruined place and I didn't know why. This blonde headed, rough, wonderful girl who didn't dress like other girls is my daughter and I don't know her, I don’t know why she was in the ruined place.

                                       The girl is my daughter and I love her.
