Poem

It was the worst day ever

I may never see my mother again forever

I was soon brought to a farm

Where my owner only wanted to cause harm

I worked in the fields all day

At night all I wanted to do is pray

I would try and send her a letter

Hoping the next day would get better

It was a rough and terrible life

I could have just ended it with a knife

Until I heard the news

That could get me out of this abuse

This news could set me free

Now I don’t have to run and flee

In a few days I will get to see my mother

And we will finally get to hug one another
