Tip-Tap Shoes and Princess Dress #23
A harlot she became who gave her darling birth, and struggled with her life upon this dreaded earth. She made her day's living next to the local bar where she made a name with men both near and far. A man came to visit and looked down from her face, and beheld the 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 dark with grime, and the man who came that day thought it was a crime. But something marvelous happened in that house that day, a man with full compassion from the harlot turned away. He told the child's mother, “I'm taking your child with me!" and both walked hand in hand to 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." To wash her face and brush her hair, He did his very best, although it took an hour, her complexion passed the test. Amazed, the child gazed through the aisles they enthralled for this was her first time to shop a shopping mall. Punished by the High Court, the harlot now has learned, her child loves her Father and will never be returned. Now, you may ask yourself, "How's this poem relate to me?" Your the child, harlot the world, and God's come to set you free! -Lighthouse Bob |
