She Smiles

Innocent child
Abandoned
Empty stomach
Nothing on her feet
She smiles

Unforgiving night
She wanders alone
Against the frost
Nipping at her bare toes
She smiles

Angered sun
Scorching her skin
Blistering her feet
Against the sultry concrete
She smiles

Bitter floor
Rough against her back
Cardboard keeping her warm
As she sleeps
She smiles

Accepted child
Lays in her warm bed
And hugs her new mother goodnight
She has a place to call home
She smiles
