Orphan

Imagine losing all your family
And feeling completely lost
Helpless in a frightening world
Life had kind of tossed
You into its great chasm
Without the where for all
And all the alien
creatures
Live inside their wall

You are in the forest
Your family has gone away
Nobody to love you
Nobody to lay
Beside or on
No comforts
No where to get food
Aching and now breaking
an alien solitude

PAtience is warm and tender
Clearly a caring soul
He looks at her
And clearly trusts
And she respects her role
To act as his new mother
And guardian and to try
To form that bond
He is clearly fond
Of her and we see why

Rehabilitation
It’s a rock for him to see
Although he is only little
His great big eyes are key
He assimilates behaviour
And is clearly hopeful she
Is his second mother
For he needs her so to be

He clearly can remember
Life has not been up to scratch
A lot of sadness came to be
Till someone did despatch
Him to a government compound
Confiscated he
Needed to find a mother
Or a friend and urgently

Lost that’s how he felt
But in a human world where woe
And great machines were everywhere
he wanted to go
It’s as if he as an alien came
From very far away
And hope he could find friends to help him
Perhaps even to play

The trees were high
The forest dense
But clearly it all made no sense
So Patience was his only hope
Hopeful she could also cope
And obviously really wanted to
Love him and hopeful she could do

He fretted in his sleepy hours
Of his own family he
Possibly could remember
How it used to be
But now he had to give his trust
And with that trust he had to see
Learn of his surroundings
And really try to be

Part of these new months ahead
Patience clearly was
Patient and so peaceful
In her temperament because
She understood and had empathy
For her little orphan boy
Who if she bonded with him
Both could share the joy

The nurturing power of women
The morality of choice
She was like a forest goddess
With a most divine quiet voice
And the little chimp felt happier
In her arms where he
Could hear her warm heart beating
Like his did,and to free
Himself from tHose old memories
She held him softly and he
Was full of admiration for her
With just one look you could see

in and frightening world
