Little Orphans

Little orphans are given

the bravest songs with

much more sadness.

An entire life

like a broken chain,

imagine how little will remain.

Held in a place

meant to be safe.

Wishing for a home

in the clouds,

but time never

keeps its word...

always wide,

or waits

or just mute.

Let us kiss the soul

of a loved one's smile lost.

One brave in being alive

when there might

be nothing more.
