Poem
That big house was built in the seventeen century when the faith in God was strong, it told many stories of men with bruised hands and chiseled faces; they built it with craft and embellished it with stained-glass windows; girls in their pretty black dresses looked outside and contemplated sunsets for long. I bumped into a frail woman leaning on a cane, she stared at it with much emotion and sobbing, " Their youth is wasted, They are the orphans rejected by society! " " Why is it so? " I asker her puzzled." They should be adapted by somebody and get out of there before they are too old! " Her voice expressed a great concern. And looking in those tearfull eyes I answered her, " I must disagree! " " Do you want them to be entrusted to strangers who won't love them as their parents? " Parents! They have none! They are the daughters of drug addicts! " She raised her voice which showed anger while she rubbed her injured knee. " Madam, why are you crying? Does someone dear to you live there? I questioned her improvising the answer. " My granddaughter ! My poor granddaughter! " I continued the conversation " Is it a children's care center?" She solemnly replied wiping her flowing tears with a soft tissue, " It's an orphanage! It's real hell for her! " The friendly woman told me a story a few people knew: the story of that forgotten orphanage where newborn were taken in by nuns who did it for love, not for gain; " On Cherry Road, this house is looked down as a scourge! Sins of their mothers! Why don't they go to visit them, hug them and give them Christmas presents? "
