An Orphan Poem by Hanh Chau

Looking into a child's eyes
Sadness written on her
face knowing
that she will
be taken away
into a foster care
leaving her behind
with only shelter
and shattered hope
filling her with agony
and bitterness

Her goal is to find
a place that call home
and provide her with love
and care
Oh, fear no mo
Oh, fear no more
my child

Life should be fair and
kind to you as a promise
it will come with a matter of time
Oh, please cry no more
Oh, please cry no more
my child
oh, hang in there
oh, hang in there
because joy of celebration
will come with many wishes
that your heart
grant for
So, be happy it will come
Before you know it here
Because god will look after you
my child
