Just A Simple Poem
not laughing for a day
a day not lived
how will our world look like, we say
not laughed a day
no love felt,
might we say?
just orphans
orphans never laugh
orphans are never loved
not laughing for a day
a day never lived
orphans everywhere
residence worldwide
needs no address
no north, no south
nor east or west!
Just a simple poem
but please think further

Not laughing for a day... Deeply powerful words! .. Ever so Heart moving! .. And for me to say, even such is understated! ..
Splendid. Orphan-hood is a matter of degree. Motherliness shown by fellow humans can ameliorate the plight of orphans, if only we can give them reason to laugh for a day..
If i had the means and wealth, i would adopt all the orphas as my children. God bless. Full marks and to my favourite
Very few people think of Orphans. You are a kind hearted soul to think about them and write a poem on them, dear Sylvia..
A heart rending poem, my dear friend Sylvia. When I think of Orphans, my heart misses a beat. I always wonder how they move on with life. So sad! No smile on their face.
Thank You Oh so much for sharing this! .. Beyond #'S And Stars! ..++++++++++++++++++++++++
