Lesson learned

Tracy Dann

Lesson learned

A small frail girl broken and beat.
Crying as she hears more steps of his feet.
Lesson learned night isn't safe and monsters do defeat.

A young teen abused and pregnant
Crying knowing she'll never be relavent.
Lesson learned those that should love don't always act very elegant.

Struggling mother of several doesn't even see she's been lost while life was shuffled.
Trying to find out day by day has left her baffled.
Lesson learned life has struggles enjoy it each day before it unravels
