Sense Sonnet - Acher

Lost Treasure

It's been 10 years since my Dad died,
Leaving me an orphan alone.
There's still an emptiness inside,
Even though I'm now almost grown.
Life was hard, and then Dad got sick.
There was nothing that I could do.
They said it was good Dad went quick.
I really hoped that he'd pull through.
My home burned down the other day.
I barely managed to survive,
Escaping in just my p.j.
But at least I was still alive.

Gone - the most precious thing I had,
The only picture of my Dad.
