• Once upon a winters eve
    A child is born, a daughter of Eve
    A mother of love, and tender care
    A father who’s really never there
    Her life is sheltered so you see
    She carries around her little ducky

    Her life she lives like nothings wrong
    Although she’s known it all along
    She never fits in, but longs to belong
    The life she knew when she was born
    The time, for her mother, she mourned
    The time, she saw, her mother scorned

    The life she knew all those years ago
    The fireplace lit and softly aglow
    For safety and warmth, the family cuddled
    While the rain drops dripped into their puddles
    They would just sit and huddle
    Illuminating moon on snow

    Then in the city she was found
    Lying there on the cold ground
    Like a memory torn and bleeding
    Signs of her father oh so fleeting
    Broken bones, cuts, and bruises
    She’s out there while he just snoozes
    But wait, no here’s a correction
    What happened to her so called ‘protection’
    Tired from all the fights she’s foughten
    Here she lies, long forgotten
