DESERTED

DESERTED

You talk of wondrous things you see

I talk of painful things I feel

Its often said 'life is filled with ups and downs,

but mine is filled with downs;

I see parents caring for children,

I see children caring for parents;

Here I seat with nowhere to go,

I'm lonely without a home;

I'm a street boy

who begs for coin

But,

Where is my mother?

Who is my father?

Did I have a brother?

Or someone to call my sister?

Do I really have a family?

What is my sin?

Why am I like this?

If only I can feel,

at least what family is;

Oh God I know you are their up above,

Watching men living in love

But, what is my sin,

That made me to be deserted in the street?

God since I have no family,

Will you be my family?
