"Do I have someone to love me?"
He wonders sitting there.
"Do I have someone to give me
a wool hat for my frozen hair?"
"Do I have some bread to eat?
Some water to wash it down?"
How many are there cold & hungry 
crying around this town.
A child beside his mother
watching the cars go by.
His hunger so far gone
there are no tears to cry.
Please give him a drink of water,
put your arms around his back.
Please bring him to a warm shelter
to comfort and nourish him back.
Cuddle him in a blanket,
wait days to see him smile.
It’s far too late my friends.
It looks like he faded and died.
Tears drop on our diamonds,
as an angel shines in view.
Do you see a person
needing LOVE to shine in you?
