To and From---a poem by Jaclyn J.
Around the world she goes
Traveling from one place to the other
Home to home
Family to family
Scratches and bruises are visible,
And she cries when no one's around
Life on the road
Had been so cruel,
Life in a home,
Was even worse
Beaten and scarred,
were her memories.
Open and bleeding were her wounds.
Comas and death ran in her family.
To soft a heart,
For a girl like her.
For all she's been through,
Can take a toll on this young girl's thoughts.
House to house
School to school.
Won't anyone love her?
State to county
County to town
Town to country.
She finally finds a home.
Far and wide she's gone,
To find a family like mine.
She's finally found,
That love really exists.
For it's not just the person,
It's really their heart.
I know...it's not all that good but I try
