PrettyBrownGirl

With the big beautiful smile

No one would ever know

The kind of pain she hides



PrettyBrownGirl

With the big boisterous laugh

No one could ever guess

The kind of hurt in her past



PrettyBrownGirl

With the bright, shiny eyes

Can’t escape the loneliness

No matter how she tries



PrettyBrownGirl

Who chooses to hide

Behind her love

Behind her giggles

Behind her smiles so wide



Her story is not of molestation or rape

She carries pain of a much different fate

PrettyBrownGirl

With her heart sweet and kind

Surrounds herself with love

To push the hurt from her mind



She wanted her mother

To love her

Put HER before the DRUGS

Now PrettyBrownGirl

Forces her smile and shrugs



Rehab after rehab

Decades passed, nothing’s last, everything tried

Pretty smiles fade

Pretty eyes cry



She copes with abandonment

But is grateful for her grandparents

Who taught her to be a lady

And showed her love daily



So she’s now grown

With a beautiful family of her own

Yet, from time to time,

PrettyBrownGirl knows

That the hole in her heart still shows



She’s got melodies in her soul

She’s put her faith, hope

And trust in the Lord above

PrettyBrownGirl,

Please know you ARE loved
