No One Noticed

“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
