Please ignore my post that this is posted twice. I did all this thinking I had done the same one twice before my first cup of coffee in the morning. ( I am not with it yet.

The leaves were reds, oranges, and browns,
beautiful foliage to behold.
She looked and liked what she saw,
the trees changing with the time.

Then to the left she saw the fir,
that stays forever green.
To show that some they do not change,
is sad they do not learn

He never would accept life,
as a thing that one should love.
For in his mind was cruelty,
to ones he should show love.

The years go by his deeds are dark,
as the little one cries silent tears.
Wanting just to feel his love
but pain it comes like rain

Her friends they did not know,
for he told her not to tell.
So life was a stage with actresses,
trying so hard just to live.

She learned to hide her hurt,
pretending all was well.
While inside she created ones
to take her life of hell.

Up standing pillow of the community,
to all he fooled them well.
But the wee one knew the darkness,
within his soul that did live.

So God put others to come and protect,
so she survived the tragic life.
Knowing now she was not alone,
He sent them…her sanity to protect

Sorry, not sure what I thought I was doing but I ended up posting this twice, I changed the last part of it. I forgot I had already posted the first version.
