Eagle Wing

A little girl In a small city Walks to school Without eating a meal She sings her situation In a quiet place Sleeping on the floor No money for text books Poor parents she had Lives in a small mud house Families avoid them Friends walk away She eats mockery In her school Only one uniform A burst pair of shoes Eagle passing by Hears her sorrowful song Put her on his wings And give her a place above
