She had exhausted all her options, to the point of letting go
She had always been the type to hold it together and never let it show
She was losing her home, and all that she had
Nobody knew it had gotten so bad
The people she needed most, were too many miles away
It just so happened that was the day
This poor lost girl came back to your door
You gave her your home, But you gave her so much more
Hope was forgotten, it had been so long
Since she had sung a happy song
A family is what she now has
The rest has been left in the past
She grows stronger each day, she has opened her eyes
What she sees makes her cry
You've saved a girl without even knowing
Saved her from where she was going.

The back story to this poem is this:
I had been dating Jeremiah, for the last 3 1/2 years, we moved out here to California together in 2007, in June 2009, I broke up with him, I had been wondering what was still keeping us together for awhile, when I happened to meet a boy named Danny. Yes it is wrong, but I felt so alone until Danny came into my life and he showed me what it felt like to feel alive. He showed me how to open up and just live life, not caring what anyone else thinks. Anyways, when I left Jeremiah, I had no place to go. I slept in my car at a park for a week, then got a voicemail from Beth, the mother of a child I nannied for when I first moved out to CA. She was wondering how I was, and told me to come over for dinner anytime, because they would all love to see me. So I drove over to their house, and I told her my situation, and she insisted that I move into the Backhouse until I had gotten back on my feet again. So now, I live with the Cohens.
