A Helpless Angel

On a cold winter night Not far from here There was a child Suffering great fear She was unfortunate She was hurt She always wore the same dress and the same shirt She prayed for mercy She prayed for light She prayed for love Instead of fights She had no chance The fight was not fair Her mother held her down While her father beat her there She tried to tell someone But who would care? She wanted someone Who would always be there A little boy Whom she never knew Sat down beside her Their friendship was true They talked for hours They could talk for days Then she had realized It was getting late Later that night As she laid in bed Her drunken parents stormed in Their faces beating red She screamed for help But no one would respond When someone realized her plead She was already gone A few days later Six feet in the ground A long lost angel Had finally been found She's up in heaven With a smile on her face She walked to Jesus and she was embraced A helpless angel Carved into stone Now she will never be alone.
