Child

overcoming hardships

 

What child is this

That hums and sings

An eerie tune with a morbid ring

What child is this

That screams and cries

And reaches for the greyest skies

What child is this

That hopes for eve

To gaze upon the stormy seas

What child is this

That runs from me

And hopes for fleeting memories

What child is this

With green-blue eyes

That holds her teddy bear and cries

What child is this

This scared little thing

That doesn’t wish for a prince or king

What child is this

That walks alone

Not bothered by blood nor shattered bone

What child is this

Who has grown strong and tall

                          And who shall persevere in spite of it all
