Devoted



She's a
beautiful young woman
with a daughter who she loves.
Shes an unsuspecting victim
innocent by a fault.
Devastation is her penalty for
offering unending compassion
to a desperado who imprisoned her heart.
The sadness of this story is
that no one even sees the
painful sacrifice she made
devoted to her cause.
Trying to hold together the
wreckage of there lives.
I pray she finds some comfort and
the happiness she deserves.
Shes a devoted
loving mother who only wants a happy family.
