 A New Woman

Poorly abused child


Had she suffered
So frightened of her mom
Did she beat her
As i saw a few whacks with hard kitchen tools
One day we had money
Just luck on the floor
No faces to ask
So we took the 20 pence
Decided to go to the shop
Saw her mother as we walked back
She ran and ran and i couldn't no longer
She grabbed me saying her mother was coming quick
Hurry up
Hurry up
In frightful fear
She quickly sat down told me what to say and not to be afraid
I was
Except the excuse was to say her Grandad got them for us
Why would she smack or beat her if ever
She was a kid
She must have never gotten her sweets if she had to go to the shop
As i told her in the house you never have nice things to eat
Her mommy never got her those luxaries
So i fed her as many cakes at my home
I was the same age and when i saw how they treated her i swore i'd be the best friend i could be
Except was I?
I often wonder at times if i did enough for this poorly abused child
Should i say something we're good family friends
So i thought not i wouldn't want her separated from her mother
Although i hope she has gotten help
I often wonder if i ever did the right thing at all
Did i or not?
