Walk With HerA Poem by A.Lee
She trudged along the sidewalk
Dusty feet and broken smile On her back a load of burdens Stacked nigh twenty miles high She's passed so many people Who stare at her with such disdain Some click their tongues in pity Yet the leave her in the rain She tries to hold her head up high Stumbling down this old cracked road She longs to see a friendly smile But she's forced to walk alone Exhausted now, she sits to rest She lays her burden down People rush to swarm around her Full of anger they gather round "Just who do you think you are?" they shout "You get no time to rest! The very last thing that you deserve Is peace and happiness!" With teary eyes and broken heart She stands up to face her trial Wishing someone out there cared enough To simply walk with her awhile © 2010 A.LeeAuthor's Note
