She is a polite little girl <br />Her soft hands so fragile <br />Timidity and shyness I feel <br /> <br />Blank expressions on her face <br />Her eyes are always searching <br />Emptiness I have never felt <br /> <br />She moves from house to house <br />Deprived of every possession <br />The only way of living she knows <br /> <br />Over Two Hundred orphaned children <br />In our thinly populated county alone <br />Imagine the world with millions of them <br /> <br />Today is my birthday and a day to share <br />A bear you gave me I love and hugged all year <br />Will make this small child smile for a day <br /> <br />Kay Barcelon<br /><br />Kay Barcelon<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/through-her-eyes-i-see/
