Favorite Quote:
"This ain't goodbye. This is just where love goes, when words aren't warm enough, to keep away the cold."


Lost, yet found,
Isolated, but free,
These are the things known to me.

Parent and child,
Family large but small,
These are the things known to us all.

Clothes that are faded,
Food that is meager,
These are the things from our leader.

Cheeks concave,
Eyes transparent,
These are the things that are apparent.

Spirits low,
Hopes high,
These are the things that keep us alive.

Bright halos,
Final friend,
These are the things that meet our end.

I wrote this hoping to show others what it was like for children when we had no orphanages and children took care of each other.
