A life with love in it

Two skinny legs dangle from hand-me-down frocks. Elastic bands holding up her socks. Scuffed shoes on her feet so small they barley fit. Water leaks through the crack where the sole had split. Wheat coloured hair pulled away from her face. Tied back in a pony tail with a crimson lace. Blush Full lips hide a row of crooked teeth. Always on show when she opens her mouth to speak. Deep blue eyes and pale white skin. Her frame is petite and she is painfully thin. Her existence is humble but she is rich beyond compare. For she lives in a home with love in it, a bond that they all share. Many years have passed, a woman is she, respectful, beautiful and kind. Now re living fond memories of the happy child hood she left behind.
