To Clean
To clean
In the midst of orphans
I sit
Motherless
Like I
We are asked
What our mummies
Taught us
Some say
To love, to have faith, to believe
Others say
To follow their dreams, to be themselves,
To do good
I
To clean
To always clean
My heart
And leave it spotless
For
Love, faith, good
Kindness, honesty, obedience
And my mind
For thought
Thought for others
Other than my self
And strength
Strength to believe, to follow my dreams,
To be myself always
For there is no one better.
