One Fell Alone

Forword: Written after a 15 yr. old girl took her own life at my sons school, no note, nothing to explain her pain. Just a child from what I hear, like others was forced to grow up too fast; Broken hearted rejected and alone, unable to find one last straw to grasp. Where were all those caring hearts, in her desparate time of need; Not even a close friend nearby, to listen to her final plea. Now we all mourn much too late, for another soul not cherished or adored; Maybe the gift of our time to save a child, is something we all could afford. So we wonder now what God's intentions were, when this unwanted child came to be; Perhaps we all had a part to shape her, into what God could only see. It takes deep love and committment, to be humble and serve anothers needs; It is the reason we were all created, and why he died for you and me.
