I was very hungry, running from person to person, <br />Begging for a penny, begging for anything... <br />My morning started with a beating, Master felt I was lazy.. <br />I just pray, God bless me with money, so that I can please <br />My master, I can evade a trashing... <br /> <br />I show a pathetic face to all the passers by... <br />Hoping and Praying within me, to give them a heart to dropp in a penny. <br />I am dressed in the worst of clothes, to gain pity, <br />Its ages since I cleaned my self, for I have to earn, begging... <br /> <br />Many feel sorry for me; many get angry with me... <br />Some give me a penny, some just stare at me.. <br />Some wonder may be...Why this child is on the road, <br />I look for something in every one's face.. <br /> <br />I wonder where my parents are, why am I begging, <br />May be somewhere on the roads, I can find those eyes <br />Searching for me, some times I wish I could live a normal life <br />Like any other child.. <br /> <br />Many a times, I wonder, was I stolen or was I discarded.. <br />This thought gives me a jerk, and I feel lost, <br />Lost in my own world, of misery, God I only ask, <br />Give us all children on the road, a home, <br />A Home where there is only Love and no hardships.<br /><br />suja nair<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/begger-child/
