Poor Orphan Child

A Chant!

Another dawn cracks so cold and so dreary

Forlorn light gleams on a skin pale and dead

A tear drops from her eye of melancholy

Sad and barren is a poor orphan child

 

On a bleak footpath so long and so weary

Staggers with dread and bubbly dreams all killed

Croons an innocent chant, simple and cheery

The bleeding soul of the poor orphan child

 

On one snowy frozen night of December

Hunger and need drove her into the wild

All humans have a heart of a murderer

No one do care for the poor orphan child

 

The night was chill and the noontide was frigid

Nothing in her life is pleasing or mild

Life is so harsh, torturesome and so rigid

No hope seems there for the poor orphan child

 

Just then when she drowned in her tears of sadness

A warm hand caressed her, she turned beguiled

Then caves of ice crept to her mind like madness

Shouted out loud did the poor orphan child

 

'Oh my little daughter you may fear me not

I saw mountains of sorrow in you piled

Take my old hand, trust me! Just give it a shot

I'm here to help you my poor orphan child

 

While glacial tears fought in her sad eyes like tides

His divine hand left her from the stony ground

She stood up trembling but clung to his side

Love is the bourne of the poor orphan child

 

God never forgets, and will never forsake

His care is ultimate on all in this world

Even if you're wretched, he cares for your sake

God is a friend of the poor orphan child

really did enjoy this journey of emotions...the coldness starts to turn to warmth, but she doesn't trust...feels she will be orphaned again...but finally, yes, she feels some comfort and understands that love is out there...and it has found her...she is safe now...there is someone to dry the tears.
