Street Child
What are you doing out at this time of the morning?
Sited on the pavement
in all those dirty clothing,
You should be at
home, in bed, covered with a cozy blanket,
In a beautiful pair
of nighties, and right beside you, a pet,
I’m engulfed with
great sadness at the sight of you,
It was never your
fault to end up this way too,
I will never fully
understand how it feels to be in your shoes,
To grow up without
love, without being cared for, like a sheep let loose,
To be able to sleep
anywhere, not wash for weeks, live with hunger and no money to spend,
To take every day as
it comes, not preparing for tomorrow, just you and the world, don’t even have a
friend,
All this and more,
shatters my heart,
You do not deserve
this, life isn't supposed to be a mean path,
If there is a God in
Heaven who created you and me,
I know by heart that
He did not mean for life to be this hard
What are you doing
out at this time of the morning?
Sited on the pavement
in all those dirty clothing,
You should be at
home, in bed, covered with a cozy blanket,
In a beautiful pair
of nighties, and right beside you, a pet.
