The little orphan


When I was born I was given away,
adopted some people did say
but my new mum fell ill so I lived with her sister
I wasn't old enough to miss her,
Aunt Eva was so loving and kind
but as I got older, Mum was on my mind.

Suddenly Mum passed away,
once more it was a sad day.
Aunt Eva looked at me with tears in her eyes, she said !
I'm sorry to say, but once more you will have to go away.

You have two aunt's who live near your dad,
Live near my Dad, I was really glad.

My aunt's were happy to have me,
they made lovely cakes for tea.
I had to go to a new school, and soon made lots of friends
I'm Loving living near my Dad, and that's how my story ends.
