Holding a Sign

Ternic73

Standing on the street corner holding a sign

Please, anything helps even a dime

Dirty body, hair and ragged clothes

Wondering if they will eat today, no one knows

Holding a sign, such a lost soul

What happened to them? Life out of control

Alcohol,Drugs, often the case

Can't find a way to a safe place

Sleeping on the streets, which ally for the night

Back against the wall, ready to fight

Hit rock bottom, with no help in sight

Give themselves to God with all their might 

Standing on the street corner holding a sign

Praying for just one person to be kind

Standing on a street corner

    This is a very beautiful poem.we often forget that many of those whom are homeless cannot help it.I know people who stand on the corner asking for money,even though they don not need it.it is really sad.
