\na letter telling from the heart,

No one\u2019s love, and no one\u2019s prayers,
\nhad ever graced her soul,
\nshe was a lonely castaway,
\nin the large, uncaring world.<\/p>\n
Incorrigible, the school said,
\na problem to all around,
\nnot worth the effort to redeem,
\nno hope for her was found.<\/p>\n
And thinking so, a matron\u2019s hand,
\ncaught her roughly as she turned,
\nand put a slap across her cheek,
\nand broke the heart that yearned.<\/p>\n
And taking the letter from its place,
\nthe matron flung aside,
\nthe message the little castaway,
\nso carefully sought to hide.<\/p>\n
A stranger came along that day,
\nand found the dirty note,
\nand read the girl\u2019s hidden plea,
\nher quiet, longing hope.<\/p>\n
