THREE BOYS

They could not escape their fiery place,

They perished in a home for orphans long ago.

Three boys and a dog left so alone,

They had forever to roam this empty home.

Not wanting to go away, they hid in this place of decay,

Time did not pass away, these three boys could not go away.

No more of the human race, ghosts trapped with the forgotten days,

They were young when their lives were taken by the deadly fire.

It was time for these three boys to go away, help would send them to a place,

Three boys lost but found, sadness no longer, heaven bound.

  1. This is tragic, yet beautiful. Also reminded me of the film ‘The Orphanage’ – suitably spooky for the time of year I’m reading it too. Thanks for following my blog, pleased it led me back here 🙂
