The Red Headed Girl
There was a girl
With long blonde hair
and freckles that kissed her cheeks
And she didn't feel she belonged
There was a girl
With short, red, banged hair
She found the blonde girl
and made her a home
She gathered the peices
of the blonde girls broken heart
and put them in the shape
of a home
She took the bandages
off of her bandaged soul
and gave her a shot
of true happiness
She showed her more kindness
Than anyone before
and showed her family
Who would take care of her
Family doesn't mean your blood
It is the people who
Would do anything for you
and follow you to the end of the earth
The people who make you smile
When all you feel is the cloud over your head
The people who don't mind
When you show up crying at their door
The people who wrap you in a blanket
When you come inside from the snow
and have a cup of cocoa
Waiting by the fire
The people who tell you
When you're doing wrong
But will support
The decisions you make
One day the blonde
Looked to the redhead
and asked her the question
That had been on her duct taped heart
"Why did you save me that day?"
and the redhead looked puzzled
but then titlted her head up and said,
"You looked lost."
So that day
When the red head found me
Not only did I make a friend
I was introduced to my family
