Son of the Village

The son of the village.

When things happen they happen fast
One day you are a son without parents
The following day you become a son of the village.

I have left the third of us on the hands of the village
They must have bigger and better hands right?
I hope this hands raise him
I hope these hands care for him
I hope those hands holds him

He is now a son of the village.
