Eagle Wing
A little girl
In a small city
Walks to school
Without eating a meal
She sings her situation
In a quiet place
Sleeping on the floor
No money for text books
Poor parents she had
Lives in a small mud house
Families avoid them
Friends walk away
She eats mockery
In her school
Only one uniform
A burst pair of shoes
Eagle passing by
Hears her sorrowful song
Put her on his wings
And give her a place above
