The Daughter of a Beggar
The Daughter of a Beggar
The daughter of a beggar
No!
Never going to beg
Father wakes early
To the next door
The huge lady appears
Her face hot with hatred
Daddy kicked
Oh! So painful!
Clothes made from rags
Milk oil for my face
No shoes for my feet
With rumbling stomach
Walk down the street
Asking for help
The daughter of the president
Lies down to wake to soothing music
Bread buttered and coffee
Princess dress worn once and thrown
And I ………and I
The daughter of a beggar
Such a painful reality

Honestly very painful. We need to appreciate what we have and help those in need.
