being an orphan

mother has been gone less than a day her favorite time of day was daybreak, I think I walk outside into the sun, but do not feel any better there is something horrible about not having your mother I did not realize it before because I was never an orphan but now I am I sit on a bench feeling despair I am all alone now no one likes me the way she did I cannot be cheered up Sadness overwhelms me, my heart is breaking It is horrible being an orphan Until yesterday I never knew….

nothing equals a mother's love for her child. sadness expressed so clearly, 'I cannot be cheered up' beautiful line. I liked the title too. well written dear poet.
