Not what I expected from the (misspelt) title, but a well pieced haiku nevertheless. Take this 7, and use it well.
And yes, I am a pedant.

Very wistful indeed, surprisingly for you. This is lovely.

nice and short. also surprising from you. a little sentimental. not sure you can have orphans in a poem unless they are being thrown from a bridge.
