Unconditional Love

She left out on her own to find her own way
Now almost grown and this was the big day
Her bags all packed a ride waiting out front
All that she lacked was that one final grunt

In her new place she had never felt so free
Now out of their grace she would soon see
For things were great or so seeming at first
But as of late things took a turn for the worst

The lay offs came as she collected for a while
But the end of that flame as she couldn't file
The landlord came around giving her a week
By pride she was bound and still wouldn't speak

There on the street they saw their daughter lay
No shoes on her feet being so lost in her way
Coming to her aide from her Fathers eye a tear  
Finally for what they prayed is now finally near
