I had to look at this poem that so moved you in the writing of it. It had the same effect on me, too, David. A message we all need to take heed of - never judge someone by what is happening on the outside. Superb writing, as usual. Meaningful..... Love, Fran xxx

We should never just look on the outside, it is the inside, the soul of a person that counts. A sad but very true story. Love and hugs Ernestine XXX

I'm still crying David, it's so sad and it's a situation that I can see could happen. We never know why people do what they do, we don't live in their hearts and no not what happened to them in their past. It is not up to us to judge only the creator can do that and the sooner some of us realize that the better. This lady of the night definitely had a heart of Gold and no one gave her the chance to show it instead they judged her. Excellent poem David. --Melvina--
