she makes everyone smile
but she is so sad
in our shoes she walks a mile
if only in hers we had

she always cares too much
still she is down
it is her heart we cannot touch
in tears that drown

she is the light of loves promise
but darkness is her own
it is her heart that is always honest
but still her mind is stone

she can bear more than we know
but so much is silence
when the rain begins all that can grow
is her pains defiance
