FOR THE ORPHANED

world-day-war-orphans_6113

Trees in death

Form mansions

Or create fires

For those dying of cold

Darkness dawns

For the sun to rise

Some plants die

To give warmth for bodies to live

Analogies upon analogies

But you special ones

Have your luck shine bright

When your earth guardians turn angels too early

They shine down

Crying with you through your hardships

Creating pathways for your safe passages

And singing lullabies for you to sleep

They look down

Sleeping not when you sleep

Seeing first when trouble approaches

And guard best in their human absence

Instead of tears

Smile up at them

Instead of slacking

Run through their paths and make them glow

You are not alone

You can never be alone

You are the bodies

With more spiritual bodyguards than you can count

Just a simple Ghanaian trying to find the best in our society. I may be fun, I may be interesting, I may be funny, I may even be foolish or intelligent, but it is all based on the mood in which you find yourself. I believe our minds make us who we are. Know that, pain, no matter its 'unbearability', is transient. Unburden or delight yourself for a while in my writings please. And all corrections, advice and opinions are welcome. Know that you are the king, queen or royal on this blog. :)
