Something very rare - The power of faith
Girl's unwavering faith leads to discovery of Mother's love through lost Ten-Dollar Bill.
Elly was a girl with a heart so true,
Her mom was taken from her, at just eight years old and blue.
Her grandma stepped in, to comfort and care,
And whispered tales of faith, to soothe her soul and repair.
At eleven, Elly tested what her grandma had said,
With a ten-dollar bill, her mom had once given as a gift, now in hand.
She wrote her mother's name with invisible ink, on that bill,
And placed a kiss upon it with love and tears, as if to seal.
The bill was spent, but her faith was strong,
That it would return, where it rightfully belonged.
Years went by, she checked each bill she had,
With a UV light, but her mother's name was never found.
The loss of her grandma was a blow to her heart,
Depression and sadness filled her, tearing her apart.
But her faith never faltered, she continued to search,
For that special bill, a piece of her mother, that would emerge.
Years passed, she got married, but still, she looked with care,
For that ten-dollar bill, her mother's love, so rare.
And one day, when she was buying groceries, in a store,
She found a bill, and what she saw, she couldn't ignore.
With a UV light, she saw her mother's name so bright,
She wept with joy, and hugged that bill, so tight.
The lost ten-dollar bill, a gift from her mother above,
A symbol of love, and the power of faith and trust.
