“No One Noticed”
(©Tom Entrican 10-26-2022)
An angel born with auburn hair
A wallflower as she hides
In a home where mother does not care
No one will hear her cries
She grows up fast and wonders why
So many left a bruise
And struggles so to just get by
No one noticed the abuse
In search of love she cannot find
There were so few who cared
And many more who were unkind
She tries to not be scared
She gives her all to anyone
There are plenty who will take
Then leave her there all undone
No one noticed as she breaks
Through it all she always shines
For those who only want
While she withers on the vine
And help her, no they won’t
Quietly and faithfully waiting for His call
For she has nothing left to give
Knowing Jesus kept her through it all
No one noticed when she lived
There were a few who saw her light
But could never find a way
To match her speed when she took flight
For them she would not stay
For the one or two who held her close
They watch with tearful eyes
Seeing all that they have lost
As they bid the angel goodbye
