So much grief lies under <br />Her cheery expressions. <br />I did not know of <br />The woes she had endured. <br /> <br />Her family saw her <br />As a burden <br />I could understand <br />If her heart was torn. <br /> <br />The love from a mother <br />She could not know. <br />A father's smile <br />Was never seen. <br /> <br />She saw life <br />As troubling. <br />What could this pain <br />All mean? <br /> <br />Then as life grew <br />More difficult <br />And evil <br />Beared its horns, <br /> <br />A light shined <br />On her, <br />And her son <br />Was born.<br /><br />Devon McElveen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/vanessa/
