Miss Melanie Greene

Creature of fortitude

She stuck by duty and honor

She persevered and she tried

To tame her wild heart

She toiled and she gave

She welcomed with open arms

Even when she got trampled

Uprooted from her comfort zone

And emotionally staked to burn

Ms. Melanie Greene rose to

And she forgave

Wiped the slate so clean

She stayed deliberately naïve

Though she shed quiet tears

Hope triumphed over her experience

She found solace in what could be

Never fully lived the present

She silenced her heart

Thus she died for her cause

Ms. Melanie Greene: Hero unsung
