they are gifts from God

at first they don't care about us
unfriendly, untamed and shy
they do not want to talk
they will shout at you if you do

but we strive hard to win their heart
we still talk even if they forbid us to
even with a strong heart and personality
they are still kids, children of God

i put him in my lap
told him stories
ask some questions
until i got his trust

he called me "ate"
my heart jumped with delight
but when i asked him "what's your name?"
he got mad and don't want to talk

i asked someone about him
his name is nikko garcia
about 3 to 5 years old
a cute little boy sent from above

we talked again
we had the whole time
then it's lunch time,
he asked me to sit beside him and feed him

at last, i saw the glow in his face
he SMILED for the very first time :))

when its time to go
he don't want me to leave
my heart was crushed
to see a little boy like that

i don't want to go either
but we cannot do anything about it
he have his life in the orphanage
and i also have mine in my family

i promised myself
i will go back if i can
to see that little boy again
a strong personality outside
yet soft and loving inside

a single day with the kids
we felt joy and happiness
helping them in our own and simple way

they are gifts from God
that are sent to spread joy and delight :))
