Her Parted Soul

Her Parted Soul

. for public domain

She hoped that just a precious few
would catch her when she stumbled,
to lift her from her broken knees
when so her spirit crumbled.

But precious few were off at play.
They did not hear her cry;
and in the end as she went down
the Hope within her died.

Hope's fellows, Faith and Charity,
lay too within her grave,
as precious few will eulogize
a soul they did not save.
