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.
