A little lost boy

A little lost boy

We have all seen then wander in the streets looking hungry and pale

Dodging traffic and cops, you know the ones who have no heart and want to put them away

We know they are homeless and many are orphaned so in the streets they live to survive life

These kids, they are invisible to the people who walk by them every day and turn their heads as they close their eyes so their conscience won’t play games

Pretending to not see them, as they reach their outstretched hands out hoping for a little pay and compassion along the way

A little boy who looked so lost, with tennis shoes too big for his feet, slightly torn and worn out mostly for walking the streets

His hair a mess, I must confess, he couldn’t have looked more than ten, it not a day over and skinny legs that looked like twigs

His frazzled raggedly worn out clothes, his runny nose, his face was covered with dirt and his bruises looks like he had been kicked

Where he slept in the street or in a box, we really never know for a night they disappear into a dumpster, a box or anything else they can find, just to keep they dry or warm

No grown up in sight, the little boy looked lost and must have traveled all through the night as his lips were chapped and dry

His eyes were weary, there were tears running down his cheeks, 1 per cent water, 99 per cent sadness as he looked like he had cried

This boy, so young and so old, knew how to survive but didn’t have a dime to his name to eat and nobody knows his name

So when you see this lost little boy, walking on the lonely streets, reach into your pockets deep, and give from the heart, in heaven’s name

Old Age - a poem

Old Age

Oh, with trembling hands, I feel the cane a shaking

With some difficulty, I can feel my feet struggle when I am walking

Yet, without my love for life, I would not even survive

This body of mine, getting old and delicate, has done its time

The time when I was young is still fresh in my mind

The way I liked to dance and listen to the music, so long ago

And remember how it has soothed my soul, my heart and my rhythms of life

And praying real hard, another decade I shall survive

My skin no long smooth, it is becoming some found some wrinkle

But up above I can still see the Milky Way and all the bright stars twinkle

My eyes do suffer a little bit at night, as they are worn and fading

But during the day, my sunlight is still bright, making me smile

So I feel my body ache, my body is shaking as I walk each precious mile

Each mile I take with each step it takes, I risk another bone breaking

And in the end, my life has been complete and none of it was faking

No matter how much pain I can bear, in the end I cannot let it be defeat

And if the gates of heaven should open and start calling my name

I know I can get there without struggling or falling, even without my cane

For my ears will always listen for the trumpet’s sound

And my heart will know it is the nature of the call that is profound

A chance for heaven, a chance for bliss, there is no way, I am taking the chance to miss

That heavenly journey up into the sky, never questioning my time, never asking why

I shall take a deep breath, my heart will beat once more, and then, I sleep and die

And make me a promise, my dear family and friends, for me, you will not cry

WHO AM I

WHO AM I

I AM a member of the human race, I am a child of God’s Creation

I AM a man who loves his family, his brother and sisters more than his chocolate

I AM a man of love and dignity for the elders of our nation

I AM a person who sacrificed his own for the love of his country

I AM a dreamer who works hard to put a smile on a stranger’s face

I AM a man who misses his parents who have passed and gone to heaven’s gates

I AM a human being who knows that money is the root of all evil if it is done with greed

I AM a man who knows compassion and treats each person with dignity and grace

I AM a fellow who spent his entire savings and money in pocket for the love of life

I AM a person who has survived the struggles, the battles and challenges life bring

I AM a man who proudly wears a wedding ring

I AM a man who does not dabble in silver or gold

I AM someone who bears much pain for the world’s hunger and the feet so cold

I AM a man who will sacrifice for the loved ones in his life

I AM the man who is loyal and faithful to his wife

I AM a person who is eternally grateful for the blessing life has brought him

I AM a man who won’t compromise his faith and love and serve on Him

I AM a man who goes out and takes care of those who can’t

I AM the person who stays home and helps the children when the other adults rant

I AM the man who stopped working for pay and business needs

I AM someone who knows how pain and suffering can make human bleed

I AM a person who rarely gets lazy or careless along the way

I AM the man who stands beside you and here by your side, I will stay
