You Don'T Know Her

A beautiful women on the corner of the street; Short mini skirt, leopard print blouse, and stillettos on her feet. Gorgeous blonde hair flowing down her back; Too much make-up on her face and a fake tan to match. Selling her body to guys out of town; How foolish she looks, almost like a clown. There is no reason for a women to justify herself that way; Does she even realize that it's the middle of the day? I bet she does drugs and that is why she needs the money; Then a women beside me states, "You don't know her honey." She is sweet as can be and has a heart full of gold; That young girl there is only twenty years old. Two twin girls at age seventeen she had; A faithful husband to her, he was an amazing dad. She got married young, but it was love at first sight; Her husband called for duty in the middle of the night. A phone call recieved that would change her life; News that will break down any military wife. Her loving husband killed in war; their future together gone. No money for her and the kids; she needed to move on. She does the best she can for her three-year old babies; Only does it to support their needs; No ifs, ands, or maybes. This woman you judge, you have no idea where her life is at; I apologize and say, "You're right; I don't know her like that."
