Note For the Faint Hearted

When she was born she had no father, spent nights in the streets to feed her mother, who was diagnose with a disease cancer, she strolled the streets naked for suitors, the life was worse she became a call girl. As the sun rose she headed to her homestead, weak frail with nothing to show but her instead, she saw her her mother still as a log dead, she shoved her side to side but she was dead. She sobbed and wept for three consecutive weeks, her relatives came and tried to comfort her weak, her body was soul less for she was now alone, living this life without her parent was steel hard, As the months passed she could not pay her rent, her landlady threw her out like a rat to pitch tent, she lay by the side work she now call her house pent, begging was her routine just to collect small cents Every night she wore a half knitted dress, ready to sell herself because she was a mess, every suitor passed her because of her scent, she was now devastated almost to the edge of death. One day as she begged beside the street, her self surrounded by dirt covered in a sheet, a man saw her and felt pity on her soul, he took her by her hand and told her come. Like a good samaritan he clothed and fed her, told her to clean up for she would be househelp, she neither rejected nor accepted the offer, but when evening camethe house was clean. In years to come she became the talk of town, The good samaritan married and left her in town, She was now stable fit for her to bear a crown, as she is now the director of the biggest orphanage in town Life may seem cruel at some point in time, but know that god has a way to change it, we may live on the edge of of life, but just believe and it will be alright
