The Lonely Little Boy Poem by Christian Rivera

The lonely little boy in an orphan home
Underneath thin covers on a night so cold
He prays the rosary a thousand times
Whispering alone with tear stained eyes

He listens to the sounds of rain with a broken heart
As the clock ticks on and on counting the stars
The street's shadows crawl along the walls so thin
In stories of a stranger's path he wants to live

The lonely little boy in an orphan home
Hopes to find a shelter of his own
He prays the rosary he will find a place
Of warm winter nights and quiet days

His eyes grow heavy as the clock strikes three
The vibrations in his heart lull him to sleep
And then he drifts away into fantasy land
A place with diamond oceans and silver sands

The lonely little boy in an orphan home
Underneath thin covers on a night so cold
He prays the rosary a thousand times
Whispering alone with heavy eyes
