I Am Every Orphan

Say a name. Let it resound And for a moment let it be me Ice water was my name Say any name and I will stand still For I too have a name, but ice water is all know Gathering of momentum as i hawk I am every orphan can you relate? After a hard life of strife A loving arms embrace A loving home, strife erase I am not part Yet, I will never be set apart. And just to add a tint of life’s Merciful coloring Every home should have one us, which was not already a part. Fleeting dreams of anticipation to be adult as I am made to understand that I am not at fault I am every orphan. When families care we do not roam the streets Although the food always run out before our turn, we share Were we to linger back to the ground that swallowed up hope for the night’s rest? Just when we thought Good men come in rations A people who heard visited with the gift of restored life And Left us smiling like fools at our strife Drying up tears, in this face of many blessings. I am every orphan If only someone will speak, if only someone will listen Momentary gain is that which soothe not another’s pain For those who speak for the orphans, cause ripples And their names resound in eternity Corporate, Man or woman you can find your maternity So before the next orphan develops enmity Remember I am every vulnerable child. I am every orphan, you are my voice I am you, you are me We are orphans
