The Life She Lived


Little girl six years old Watching her father walk away Little girl so sad and alone Looking for a way to understand Just a girl who doesn't feel Trying to go each day with a smile Just a girl who always see's She knows the broken world Teenage girl so undermined and strong Trying to make a future for herself Teenage girl already grown up Wants to know there's more than this in store No longer a girl she's on her own Showing them all she could do it No longer a girl so sure of herself She won't change for anyone else A short life full of so many things Loss and hurt bringing anguish and pain A short life refusing to give up Instead filling herself with all Gods beauty Life isn't always about what you have Life can be the simple things Anything that may make you laugh Its all about how you use your wings A future of promise can be a light To remind you why you must carry on Everyday is worth the fight
