Unconditional Love
There was a girl
Who knew great love,
That only a parent could show.
But then one day,
Some people came
That stirred her life into a great whirl.
It wasn't fair what they did,
Taking the life of the ones who brought her into this world.
But as she was left,
Thinking there was no love,
She discovered unconditional love comes from above.
