Second Chance

Folder: 
really old stuff

I saw a woman with her baby

Walking in the night

I could tell from her expression

That she was putting up a fight



The baby started crying

So she whispered in it’s ear

It’ll be ok

As long as daddy isn’t here



I noticed her beaten body

And her well-known fear

She seemed to be used to

Dropping one more tear



Please hold on

Your broken heart will heal

Just give it time

To remember how to feel



The man who ruined her life

Gave her another

She was brave enough to hold on

Until things got better



Now the baby girl

Is married with a daughter

Grandma smiles as she watches

The baby play with her father
