~ So Sad ~
Sitting
in the
warmth of
my hearth
all aglow
Looking
out the
window at
the fresh
snow
I'm
reminded
of a
homeless
soul
That has
no
comforts
and no
place to
go
No place
to escape
from the
cold
winter
wind
Some may
never see
the
sunrise
again
They may
depart
this world
tonight
Losing a
battle
they just
could not
fight
It's been
many hours
since
they've
had a meal
Their
plates are
so empty,
nothing to
fill
My heart
is heavy
at my
minds dark
vision
I think to
myself,
there's
really no
reason
Why anyone
should be
so hungry
and cold
Some of
them are
young, not
all of
them are
old
They've
been dealt
a bitter
blow
By life,
or someone they
used to
know
Or maybe
they just
never had
a good
start
Started
on a
journey
with a
hopeless
heart
Whatever
the cause
for their
pitiful
plight
Really
doesn't
matter,
they need
help
tonight
Someone to
reach out
with a
nice warm
bed
And food
enough
until
they've
all been
fed
