Tip-Tap Shoes and Princess Dress

She's become a harlot whose forgotten of her birth
as she struggles with life upon this dreaded earth.
She makes her day's living next to the local bar
where she's become well known by men both near and far.

A man came to visit and looked down from her face
and beheld the little child who lived there in that place.
Her house was a disaster, the stench so hard to bare
and it was obvious that no one there did care.

The child's face was dirty, her clothes covered in grime
and the man who arrived thought it an awful crime.
Something miraculous happened in that house that day...
a man with compassion from the harlot turned away.

He told the child's mother, "I'm taking your child with me!"
as child and man walked in hand on a child's shopping spree.
He asked the little girl, "What clothes do you like best?"
and she replied softly, "Tip-tap shoes and princess dress."

The gentleman did his best to wash face and brush hair,
though it took a good hour, her complexion looked quite fare.
The little girl watched amazed as through aisles they did sprawl
for this was her first time to see a shopping mall.

The harlot disgruntled by High Court has since learned
that her child loves the Father and will never be returned.
Now, you may ask yourself, "How does this relate to me?"
Your the child, Harlot the world, God's come to set you free!

I don't believe I've read this one before.
I'm glad I got the chance this time! Thanks for reposting this!

You've got me thinking in new direction today with your poetry and descriptions. "The World being the Harlot."

Very well done Bob!
