A pocket without a penny,
A purse without any sort of currency.
A house full of people to feed,
And a body with nothing to bleed.
A mind numbing situation,
A heart stopping situation.
Yet those eyes full of desire,
Full of hope,
Full of determination,
Still in search of a cure.
A couple of friends and no one else to trust,
For everyone else seemed to be acting like rust.
Just a job in hand,
The only silver lining in the wet sand.
Days were days,
And night became days too,
For it was this silver lining,
That could see her family through.
A lady as strong as she was,
Determined to work for her cause.
A cause which was selfish yet selfless.
Selfish for it was for her family,
And selfless for it was for her family!
No matter how strong she looked
on the fore,
There was a heart in her, a heart of a lady
Which cried and bled to the core.
Years of self-ish-less-ness and she was up,
A situation that she could only handle or bare.
For it is said,
"God shows adversity to those,
Whom HE believes can handle it."
Yes she is the God's child,
Yes she is the God's child.............

'There was a heart in her, a heart of a lady

- love the power in these lines, Vidit! Brilliant rhythm throughout that just gives so much melancholy energy to the poem. Well done ;)

Don't worry, Vidit - sometimes it takes a while to get a following on ABC! It took me a fair few months to even get comments on some of my pieces! I just suggest you comment like mad on other's work and they will return the favour ;)
