Orphan

Tell us about your first day at something — school, work, as a parent, etc.

November 19, 2020

I woke this morning without a mother

I didn’t see you yesterday

When you breathed your last

I think you did it because I wasn’t there

Daddy died years ago

In my second semester

I almost failed out

I awoke today

With no parents

It’s the first and the last

Today
