Born Oh So Poor

Born a summer day
A country of sunshine
A mother a little stray
heart that forgets to shine

Poor oh so poor
Devoid of laughter
Hunger my sister
Fear my moor

Dreaming always dreaming
Heart that will not break
Soaring always soaring
My uniqueness will not forsake

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed New Year.
