There was a girl that I knew well, <br />And where she went I can not tell, <br />A bright face and humor great, <br />I loved her every trait, <br />Though I paid her no attention, <br />I’d buy her back at any pention, <br />I’ve looked for her everywhere, <br />That eight year old without a care, <br />Now I’m lonely and going astray, <br />I guess she felt hated and just ran away, <br />Someone said they saw her grin, from <br />Somewhere deep within, <br />Then I new, <br />What I had to do, <br />And through my tears and all of my fears, <br />I stood the storm of life, <br />Even through the pain and strife, <br />And when I looked at my reflection, <br />I saw that girl and her effection, <br />It was hard but now I see, <br />That blond haired blue eyed girl was me, <br />Spirit Broken but not gone, <br />I had another chance to make her strong, <br />Even if the journey is long, <br />We are friends until the end, <br />And she is not the same, <br />Now I’ve given her a name, <br />Still a girl shining like a pearl, <br />I love her, <br />And she loves me, <br />And together we make Ashley <br /> <br /><br />Ashley Seymour<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/finding-ashley/
