''ONLY CHILD''
I lay in the silence of a huge empty room,
through my window I gaze at the beautiful moon.
The house is as quiet as you'll ever see,
for brothers or sisters they'll never be.
In the quiet of night I feel so alone,
I yearn for a sister to call my own.
As I slip into slumber and off in my dreams,
I see a mountain of children with laughter and screams.
I pray for the day that it will soon come,
a home that is filled with more than just one.

I too am an only child, and I feel that this poem captures an only child's longing to have a brother/sister and not feel so alone and isolated. An excellent poem.
-
as an only child myself i can relate... and when i was four or five the idea of a brother was very appealing... and then I made friends with a boy down the street who had an older brother and two little sisters. i spend a weekend at their home... and afterwards was very thankful for the peace and safety only child status brings. it's all a matter of perspective i suppose :^)
