Dear Susanna Marsh

A Poem by malex1610
"

A girl is lost within herself, she just wants to find her way again.

"

Dear Susanna Marsh

Susanna Marsh is striding forth, 

She strides and strides and strides,

She is in search for that familiar place

of which she lost her mind. 

 

As she walks the birds do sing as she goes

past the trees and trees,

she does not stop until she comes across

a familiar place and searches down

 

to find her Wellington's

upon a certain ground,

Susanna Marsh does recall this spot of earth,

for the bushes are all askew,

 

just as they were 

that dreaded day

which she had lost her mind,

Oh, so long ago.

 

Dear Susanna Marsh brings out a spade,

and thus begins her search,

she digs and digs and digs,

upon the muddy earth.

 

Susanna Marsh had brought with her 

a crust of bread and water,

for when her mouth start to dry,

from all the digging, she did wonder.

 

But alas, she dove in, 

Digging further and further,

down the muddy earth;

she shall save the water.

 

She doesn't stop until suddenly,

her spade struck hard and firm,

Susanna Marsh grinned with pride,

for she had recalled this spot of earth.

 

Susanna Marsh reached down the muddy hole,

upon it her hand grazed

a small wooden box of which

she grabbed and pulled.

 

She blew away the dirty earth atop it,

and found inside a note,

she opened it and then laughed and laughed

at what she previously wrote. 

 

'If ever you find you have lost your mind,

Remember this, my sweet,

One can lose their way, sometimes,

so long as one finds their feet.'

 

Susanna Marsh shook her head and gave a tearful sigh,

if only she had known before

that come a year or two,

she would lose so much more. 

 

With that, she stood tall 

upon the muddy ground,

her Wellington's gave a squelch,

as she began to turn around.

But oh! If only she could recall

where she had begun? 

Maybe then she might remember

when she had lost her mind.

 

Dear Susanna Marsh gave a hearty sigh,

she ventured forth, deeper and deeper,

into the woods to find that one familiar place

which she had lost her mind.
