" Orphan's Lament"

"Life as an orphan, a journey so grand Without a guiding hand, to hold and to stand No loving embrace, to wipe away my tears No gentle whisper, to calm my doubts and fears Every step I take, feels like a lonely road No family to call, my own to hold I search for a place, to belong and to be But it's hard to find, a home, when you're not with me But still I rise, with each passing day I find my strength, in a different way I learn to adapt, to survive and to thrive And though it's hard, I'll make a life, and I'll stay alive Life as an orphan, may not be easy to face But I'll hold on to hope, and find my own pace I'll create my own family, with love and with care And though it's not the same, I'll find my own way to share"
