About the Author: Liora is a senior in high school. She wrote this poem in January 2001. A Baby Girl Named Orlia There was a girl brought forth into this world A winter December twenty first day she came Walking and talking at an early age, a baby girl for many years A dancer's auditorium became Orlia's life Twelve stretching cycles of months Her ninth year came, and so did Karate Her father child, her mother's nightmare The years passed on as incessantly as the changing seasons Moreover, Orlia grew up Out of her fathers, pulled into a place of unfamiliar territory Giving her love to those who in turn run off with it, never to return Hurting Orlia while she cried inside, only to become part of this child's life One day a friend stepped in To stop the pain and uncover a new leaf in Orlia's life…happiness Orlia turned away from her endless eternity of pain and lonesomeness, Never to go back again A love lost, a love gained A beautiful boy Four months passed, a child gone evermore A beautiful boy inside and out Longing for the one… Orlia blew into his life as he did into hers Together forever, who knows Eternally grateful, Orlia remains No longer, blind to a kind touch No longer unable to love A baby girl gone, but her soul remains |
