THE FORGOTTEN

The screaming crazy lady
Died on a dirty street.
Homeless and abandoned.
In search of her retreat.

No one cared for her,
No one thought to bother,
Until she was killed by
An ill fated attacker.

Her name was Gail,
But I didn't know that.
She was just a crazy lady
With a worn out hat.

Now she's a memory
That amounts to a sum,
Of a makeshift monument
On the streets she
slummed.

The mourners they came
And the prayers obligate
Solemn vows to make
amends
But for her,
A day too little,
A day too late.

@misslittleDHP I couldnt get her out of my mind and then this came.

@AudioPicasso somewhere somehow she'll now know that SOMEBODY cared...she'd be grateful and proud of you💚❤💚

@misslittleDHP I just hope she's at peace now.

@AudioPicasso so beautiful that you would write something like this. She's not forgotten now.

@Nom thank you

@AudioPicasso how terribly sad! As others have said before, she will be remembered in your words. And they willard a difference to all who read them. I am sure Gail read them too from her star up in the heavens. Well done. Brilliantly written indeed. 💙🌟💜✨
