Brother-Sister to the Gnomes

I will sit by my teddy bear

His silent voice let me hear.

We now squat on the floor

Face to face with each other

“Where are you from?” ask I

“I don’t know. I wonder.

Fell from the sky, I fear.”

“Where d’ you come from?”

Wide eyed he asks of me

“Where from I don’t know too

I came to this good family

They’re not mine, tho’ dear.”

We both are nowhere children

We both are without homes

Children without mom and dad

Brother-sister to the gnomes!

They always stand  to cheer!
