Hope

Left all alone in the world
out in the pouring rain
staring at the orphanage
this is my new home, my mom proclaims

its not much to look at
the buildings tall and looks rundown
cars whiz by, splish splash
other than that, theres no sound

i wonder why we are here
no suitcases were brought
we make our way up the steps
suddenly my attention is caught

there, up in the sky,
was a rainbow, way up high
to my mother i said bye
but when the doors slammed shut i didn't cry
