OBITUARY

LITTLE GIRL NO NAME


SHE IS GONE NOW
PASSED FROM DEATH TO A LIFE ANEW
NO LONGER LONELY OR SCARED
OR POOR OR COLD, ITS TRUE
FOUND FROZEN IN A SNOW BANK
BEHIND A GROCERY STORE
NO ONE TO GRIEVE OR MOURN
TO BE REMEMBERED NOW NO MORE.
IGNORED BY THE PASSERBY
SHE HAS GONE TO A BETTER PLACE
FED TO HER FILL-AND SO CONTENT
FINALLY A SMILE ON HER PRETTY FACE.
I call her Little No Name
for here no one even asked of it.
Where did she come from,
and sad, no memory candle lit.
Representing the homeless children
for one reason or another
lost to the dirty streets, unattended
with out father or a mother.
Found in her hand a letter
to Jesus my best friend
all we know of her is
the letter she didn't get to send.
