Note from me: Ok, I know this has been done a lot, but I don't really care as all poetry is different.

Crystal

Your tears may show your loneliness, your empty, broken heart,

To be held by a loving family was all you wanted from the start.

Your ambition drives you strongly, yet there are hurdles in the way,

But you won't let this hold you back; you'll see another day.

From the first moment they saw you, they knew you were the one,

And though these parents, they weren't perfect, your new life had begun.

Your confidence, it grew higher, 'till it was taller then a tree,

And soon you found your love and found that your heart held the key.

But then it was snatched off of you, and you were as lonely as before,

By ways you didn't have control of, death came tapping at the door.

To another orphanage you venture, scared of what there you might find,

Met pretty girl named Butterfly, oh so loving, sweet and kind.

You realised you weren't the only one, stuck on a one way street,

Though your stories were both different, it was perfect that you should meet,

And so from being lonely, on your own, a far off star,

You finally found some happiness; this friendship would go far.

Ok so what do you think?  It's only my first attempt of public poetry and I want to know how to improve so be as brutal as you like.

Review and I'll form a 'Here's be thanks' list.

Thanks for reading.
