Life Can Change
  Abandoned when young, alone since been bred
  No mother to love her, no check-ups from doc
  Wandering hopeless with one little pearl
  A girl all forgotten, and has no clock
  Grips onto small hope of having a wed
  But one day she sees a beach that’s been fled
  The air so inviting, the sand soft like chalk
  Her eyes now sewn shut, tight limbs snug and curl
  She dreams a dream that small babies talk
  And she is is in charge and sings them to bed
  Now this dream’s the first that wasn’t a dread
  She wakes up in wonder, and almost in shock
  What is this feeling surrounding this girl?
  Her mind starts to race as she sits on a rock
  Unleashed happy thoughts circle in her head
  Never she promised her legs would be spread
  But she’s been all alone with no one to squack
  She stands up tall with a smile and twirls
  A new beginning awaits her wood knock
  Awaiting a journey in rags she treads
  A village she sees as she runs up ahead
  Villagers glance knowing she’s not in their flock
  A man stops by her and says his name’s Earl
  He is very attractive; looks like a jock
  Later that month they each promised and wed
She realized she could be happy instead
  Without being alone and feeding the croc
  Someone can love her and not even hurl
  Her life trusting no one, this came as a shock
  She’s cared for and loved, and they go ahead
  Nine months later they own a baby bed
  A small little bundle they take turns to rock
  They love and adore their small baby girl
  Sometimes Earl takes her strolling out on the dock
  Both parents hearts filled with love, cherry red
