A Tale of Friendship

The young girl followed the path

leading to a cave

sitting down crying

trying to be brave


The pendant around her neck

a symbol of protection

hoping this cave was enough

to avoid detection


In an attempt to

mollify a god

the tribe abandoned her

seems so odd


As the evil ogre approached

a small group of young people emerged

after a difficult fight

the ogre was purged


Friendship prevailed that day

as a new family was formed

they are stronger together

let evil be warned
