What Is Misfortune? Poem by Julianna O'Bar

Misfortune is…
A goal unaccomplished,
A challenge unmet,
A dream never realized.
Misfortune is disappointment.

Misfortune is…
A mother never there,
A father never known,
A love never found.
Misfortune is heartbreak.

Misfortune is…
A child abandoned,
An animal unloved,
A family hungry.
Misfortune is despair.

Misfortune is…
A country divided,
A nation torn,
A world in pieces.
Misfortune is history.
