When I First Saw You

I am writing a novel, or biofiction, 'The Girl at the Rest Stop.' It's about a young girl who was abandoned, rescued by a man, and eventually adopted by the man and his wife. I use poems on the pages between chapters; the poems are pertinent to the chapter that follows. When I First Saw You By Els Worth When I first saw you sitting there. Under a big pile of tangled hair, I didn’t quite know what to think, But, oh my God, how you did stink. You looked so sad and very lonely, Even tho’ you were so comely. You seemed afraid to talk to me, But your pain was very easy to see. When I looked into your eyes, Therein I saw the fear that lies. I know you wished that I be gone But I’m sure you’ve been alone too long. Although I stopped to take a break I never thought a friend I’d make. I wanted you to go with me, To meet my wife down by the sea.
