That Frail Woman

That woman with a fragile heart, Finding solace in lonely tears, One harsh word a turmoil can start, Waging a war within her fears, Sometimes losing her fight with pain, That woman with a fragile heart, Though she knows it won't be in vain, Her soul's shattered, she falls apart, Looking up to God through her art, A sliver of hope makes her cling, That woman with a fragile heart, In anguish, she has learnt to sing, Her only prayer now is this, Let all worries and doubts depart, In God she's strong, let none dismiss That woman with a fragile heart. 10/18/17
