The Dream of a Lonely Orphan

She sat alone behind a closed window, secured by iron grids, on the top floor of an ugly old black building that some dared call an orphanage. Once she had hope, Once she had dreams that some kindly couple might perceive, wish her for themselves, take her to a cosy house, where food was savoury to taste. She dreamt she would achieve normality, attend a proper school, read books and play with happy children, receive toys occasionally, and live in harmony. The dream remained a dream. days turned forlorn. All hope was lost. She was too old now. Couples wanted small children, Unsuitable ones came for her but were refused. Little did she know that soon she would develop another dream, that someone would finally notice her, and carry her off on a romantic spree. From the closed barred window She looked at the moon. Will she find happiness?
