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..

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.
