On my mind

She has no food to eat
Cold and lacking heat
Health could be better
But she will not let anyone get her

Bruised and hurt from a man she claims to love
As God watches carefully from above
With no job or drive for a career
The right path is close and near

Her family pleads to return
To a warm bed and a yard to roam
Yet she continues to say no
Rules and guidelines, choosing now to follow

As death is slowly marching her way
For freedom she rather die and stay
She is too young to pass
But sand continues to fall in the hour glass

No money and no car
This woman cannot travel very far
I will pray again for her tonight
Yet it cannot make all her wrongs go right

A sister with so much talent and ability
Sadly she is too blind to see
Probably something that will never change
Most hurt the ones they love which is strange
