A Helping Hand
I was a child
who was shivering in the cold
I was alone crying and nobody know who was my mother and father
I was shouting for food in latin and nobody was there to bother
Dogs were licking me and eagles were crowding
I found no humanity in human but in a mother dog
Who understood my hunger and fed me milk by thinking she has six children instead of five
I was just able to stand and walk as I turned three
I found a child who was crying under the tree
I took her in my arms
I went to each and every house ( for food)
A day passed , she stopped crying
I got tired and stopped worrying
I was telling her I am her mother and father
she became everything for me
but that everything remained nothing
As she passed away few days before
I was foolish and I was not known She was no more
Like me thousands were survived with no hope
But like this child millions were giving up their lives
Please give us a helping hand.
