She

She treads ever so softly on the ground
Lest she hurt the little beings on her path
She never plucked the flowers
She knew that they wanted to be in their beds
She scared children away from catching butterflies and set them free
She came home to a life of slavery
Hard work, insults and misery
She tasted freedom never at all
But knew how much it mattered to all
