She Spoke a Bad Word

She spoke a bad word You could feel a deep sea This was a young woman who’d been Through a lot with her family and ex-husband And now her father dying Yet she recovered quickly to be With her children she was not Going to let her ex win She loved her children so much She beginning to write down Each ward Then she spoke we all Know she was not We could see it in her Big brown eyes, feel The pain as you touch Her hand, yet she was Out in 7 days Her lawyer made sure of that Give her time and she Will talk for hours about Her pain and smile because Someone listened and began To feel her voice speak
