The Little Wanderer

On desolate streets, a boy does roam

No home to call his own, no place to call home

An orphan's life, a fate unsealed

Left to face the world, with heart revealed

His eyes, a window to a soul so bright

Reflect the hardships, of day and night

He searches for scraps, with a weary face

A constant struggle, a lonely pace

The wind whispers secrets, of a life untold

Of parents lost, and a future cold

He holds on to hope, like a beacon light

Guiding him through, the darkest night

His footsteps echo, on the empty road

A solitary journey, with no abode

The world rushes by, with a deafening sound

Leaving him behind, with a sorrow unbound

Yet still he walks, with a spirit bold

A testament to, a heart untold

For in the darkness, a spark remains

A flame of resilience, that refuses to wane
