I am an Orphan



I am an orphan with a hope of staying alive,

How many years will I dance with my mother again with flowers of being dead,

Will I dance with the picture of my mother again,

Whose song of hope makes me a famished person who missed her dearly,

Will I see a face in my dreams again,

How will I walk the long famished of being a people's hero,

Each time I laugh,

my mother becomes a rose of love in my gentle world

And I became of song of war when walking ,

I am an orphan,

I missed my mother in the graveyard,

And my kissed for being a child of the Orphan.

Thanks mum

Stay well in the grave
