The Beggar Girl
I’m a hungry little Beggar girl; both my parents are dead,
I have no one to give me food, or a morsel of dry bread,
Who can feel my hunger pangs, when I double up in pain?
Who's there when I contort and writhe, my sobs are in vain!
I have no home to call my own; I wander here and there. I’ve no bed to lay my head; my feet are dusty and bare.
My torn and thread- bare clothes, my body do not cover,
I have no sophisticated Jacuzzi where I may get a shower.
You can't imagine my suffering unless you’ve felt the pain; To be without a shelter, in scorching heat and heavy rain, I am just a little beggar girl---of no importance, its true! You sneer at me and shun me, to care are very few!
