A Little Girl Saved

You don't know what you have done
Making my world come undone
It's very hard to believe
You came my way to retrieve
Me from a life I couldn't stand
With just one touch of your hand
I was rescued from the pain
I felt now and again
My aching heart couldn't survive
But you brought it back to life
As I was taken instantly
From hands that were hurting me
To loving arms holding me tight
Taking away a young girls fright
Abused and left alone to die
Never understanding why
Parents would hurt someone so small
Each day pain would make me fall
Into a crying lump of sorrow
Now my very next tomorrow
Won't be hurtful anymore
There's much loving now in store
For a little girl to see
How happy she can finally be
New parents to love her through
The nightmarish hell her life knew
