Savannah's Poem

Savannah was given an assignment at school to write a poem. They could write about anything that they wanted and would get extra credit if it fell under the heading of "hopes and dreams for the future." I think she did a wonderful job and wanted to share it...

Hopes and Dreams for the Future

“Alone No More”

Sitting and waiting for help today.
Hopeless, unloved, crying out, and Alone.
There, day by day while I go on carefree.
They are orphans and are alone all over the world.
I am in America; land of the free.
While they don’t have any idea what love is.
I go to bed full and warm while they go to bed hungry and cold.
They are orphans all Alone.

But one day I dream of adopting.
No longer will she sit and wait for help.
No longer hopeless, unloved, crying out, and Alone.
Here, day by day she will go on carefree.
No longer an orphan across the world.
She will be in America; land of the free.
She will know the feeling of love for the first time.
She will go to bed full and warm, no longer hungry and cold.
Alone No More.
