No Place To Go

She sat among the branches of a tree,
A lonely girl who wanted most to leave.
But eight-year olds have nowhere else to go,
So a weeping tree became her secret friend.

I want to hug this eight-year old and give her strength. A FAVE for me. Bravo, Jeanne, for bringing her to life for me.
