Nobody's Child

About a blind orphan boy.

Born to a dustbin, on the road I Iie,

A pitiful sight, my wounded eye,

Nobody wants me, I’m nobody’s child.

 

A crease of hope, sets my hearts aflutter,

I’ve finally been picked out of the clutter,

 

Now in my senses, by blindness I’m bound,  

All I can hear are voices around,

 

I search for hope, among those who come,

To take us home, it makes me numb,

 

With my brightest smile and little boy charm,

At the slightest touch, I hold on to their arm,

 

But when they know the boy is blind,

They kiss my forehead and step behind,

 

Voices I hear filled with joy and laughter,

Another child lives happily ever after,

 

A home they’ve found, I hear goodbyes,

My heart sinks, the river in my eyes,

Nobody wants me, I’m nobody’s child.
