' Through Her Eyes I See...' Poem by Kay Barcelon

She is a polite little girl
Her soft hands so fragile
Timidity and shyness I feel

Blank expressions on her face
Her eyes are always searching
Emptiness I have never felt

She moves from house to house
Deprived of every possession
The only way of living she knows

Over Two Hundred orphaned children
In our thinly populated county alone
Imagine the world with millions of them

Today is my birthday and a day to share
A bear you gave me I love and hugged all year
Will make this small child smile for a day
