Her Ravaged Heart

Her downcast eyes
Say it all
The sadness she has seen
Has been too much
It has taken a toll
Too great for words
To tell
Her sad resolve
Is but a shield
To hide her ravaged heart
How I long
To give her love
To comfort her
With a mother's embrace
How I long
To bring her home
Where she may know peace
