Child

Child

 

Lying alone

In a small dark corner

A small child slept.

No need for hunger, starving for love

And to sleep the child wept.

No family to guide him.

No hope for his dreams.

Little money he could bare.

The knowledge of he,

of strong burning hate,

With thoughts that no one should care.

But then one day

the child raised his hands,

And prayed to the lord above..

That he will find a family, a future,

And dreams for one to love.

A very good first write.
"And prayed to the lord above..
That he will find a family, a future,
And dreams for one to love."
You could feel the child sadness and wish. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Every kid should have a dream, and if praying to god brings it forth, fantastic.
Glad you continued writing.
