[hometext] => One of the first poems I wrote and it is another reminder to help the lost children where ever you can.
[bodytext] => Please God answer me some questions.
Why was I born into the world of grey streets of dirt and crime to sleep in doorways with no warmth of a blanket only boxes of cardboard. Looking for scraps to eat from dirt bins What is it like to have a full belly to drink clean water from a cup maybe someone will be kind to me today. The sun is shining will hold our my hands at the traffic lights Hear voices of contempt does not matter anymore. Why did you let me be born from my mother what lesson is there for me to learn from this life I am alone and poor with no one but myself. The pigeons and squirrels are the companions that I have I save the crumbs for my friends I know what it is like to be hungry. God did you not teach my mother to love Did you not show her how to provide warmth Why did you not show her the way that you know how. I will live perhaps a few more years I think maybe I am nine years old I welcome going to sleep and waking up within your safe haven. Let me have wings God To fly to the warm light Let it be soon God cause I am so cold.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
