Just An Orphan Child

Just An Orphan Child

I had no dad to hold me
No mom to dry my tears
No parents to tuck me in
As night time drew near

I had no mother to adorn me
In fancy dresses of lace
Nor brush my pretty red hair
Nor feel a father's embrace

I had no parents to listen
To the stories I would tell
No mom and dad to praise me
And tell me I was swell

I had no father to teach me
The things I ought to know
I had no mother to watch me
As I started to grow

I had no parents at school
To see the things I would do
No one there for me to share
My first date and kiss or two

I had no mom to show my ring
No Dad to walk me down the aisle
I had no one to be with me
As I was just an orphan child
