Something Missing

May 13, 2021
By Anonymous

They sit there like rocks in a river

In the midst of despair

In the cold, they shiver

With no house to share

 

With their heads hanging low

No strength to fight

As the obnoxious wind blows

They think to themselves, one more night

 

If they had but one thing

That could make this right

Thousands of bells ring

And there they lie another night.

This poem is about orphans who have nowhere to go. They sit outside of the church every day hoping someone would come to claim them.
