Orphan Funeral


Today
A thirteen year old has passed away
HIV
TB
Thirteen


An orphan boy, no mom, no dad,
Today has made me very sad.
I did not know him, name or face
Only heard of life twice displaced
Secondly from earth erased.


Confused emotions torn,
At death no one is there to mourn
Who heard his cry when he was born,
They have both gone before.


Questions come of when we die-
Do we hear our Father cry?
Only if it is goodbye
And not welcome home forever
No more an orphan child.
