A Family Tale

Palms pressed against the window, he looked gloomy.

All he ever wanted was a family.

Days gave away to months that dragged on to years.

But he was never picked.

He was ready to give up when one day a girl named Hope showed up at the orphanage.

Palms still pressed against the window, only this time they were a set of hand prints, splashed with colours and memories.

He was still not adopted, but he was no longer gloomy.

For, he found a family in Hope.
