The Little Angel

Quenching my thirst from the river that would flood I walked inside the green lush that was still untouched loner as i was,vagabond they named devoured whatever i could,my everyday game marooned and castaway stealing and scrapping kept the hunger at bay I carried my body away from the town's deputy under the protection of forest I uncovered my little heist the evergrowing growling to shut with a slice of the bread down my gut when the dinner was done,the log burnt pulled onto my face,the filthy vest I drifted to the slumber's chest woken me the loud wail and I lost the sleep's trail I opened my eyes,saw a little child innocence so sweet,hide so white as if the bright day light like a little angel,a baby born of heaven's womb fallen down, sitting on his mother's tomb "be gone thee brat find a different land to whimper and wet" I barked in all might "be gone little child" harsh as were my words deep torn my own heart blind wished my eyes to not to see his plight deaf wished my ears not another melancholy to hear algid wished my blood not with empathy to flood I turned away my sight and cursed the world one more time but the weepings were strong at once i wished to halt, whatever went wrong "weep no more, dear child the world is so full of vice here!take my day's earn fill up your tummy believe me,i can't bring back your mommy" astonished,he glanced at me once and then twice stopped his cry,crawled near me like the mice "I weep not for mother or food this plight is yours given The Father is sad seeing you broken he cast me aside 'cause i was not able to guide rusted as your soul is known nothing but to hate and scorn" "so i relinquished your pace thought, you were a lost case and another soul under my wings to keep I flew up to submit your fate but He was disappointed some of thee and some with me He,the master, never abandons his child he gave you worthy hands not to snatch away like rogue's band he gave you head,studded with mind to think and answers to find" "you and me,we both are bound work hard, sooner or later reward found today I cast away my ethereal veil to tell you no matter you fail never give up,entrain every sail" then he whispered in my ears "the braves are rewarded with kindness mistakes are forgiven remember! never ever break" thanking for the bread,he rose in all might sweet innocent child with wings so bright pale i was difference between dream and reality lost back to the town I fell down to the sacred ground and threw the stolen to the hound and one day I found what I could do when on the street corner I drew picture so beautiful as they said changed my fate called me gifted mate so today i sit under a roof playing with my instincts and hang on the wall is "the little angel's fall".
