A Life Poem by Tom Allport

A Life

Rating: 5.0


A baby born
Who's life
Was never meant
To be
The same as for
You and me
A life lost
In the dark
A life lost
In the park
Left crying
All alone
Beneath...
A weeping Willow tree.

My God, how come we become so cruel to abandon that innocent baby like that...my prayer goes to all who have bad life, hope as the day changed, world will be better for us and them, God give us strength and hope. Guide us, Amen!

So the baby and the willow tree both wept. Last night, I watched a silent film from 1921, Charlie Chaplin's 'The Kid' with Jackie Coogan. It opens with a young woman whose sin was motherhood, and she abandons her new baby with a note 'Please love and care for this orphan child.' The little tramp, played by Charlie Chaplin, finds the baby in an alley and raises him as his own son. They work the streets together when the boy is 5 years old. Meanwhile, the young mother has become a wealthy and famous star. Through a series of twists and turns in the plot, the woman finally realises the boy is her long-lost son, and the film ends with her taking both the boy and the little tramp into her sumptuous home. I could wish a similar happy ending for this baby.
