Psalm 38:11

My friends & companions avoid
me because of my wounds;
my neighbours stay far away


Heavenly Father

At times our lives are so self consumed we don't see beyond ourselves,
If we decided to stop & look around we would see the lost souls left on shelves.

I met a young boy today whose story broke my heart & made me cry,
He's alone & left homeless at 14 & it made my soul sigh.

He has no family & he's isolated to survive & live life on his own,
& yet he didn't complain as he faced a future uncertain and alone.

He is such a beautiful child with a big heart & humble smile,
He spoke with such kindness & he was filled with a heavenly style.

He didn't hold grudges & just seen that this is what life has dealt him,
& the more he spoke, the more I choked, seeing how society left him grim.

No one sees him or listens to a word that he has to say,
It's a poverty ridden child & they avoid him
as he begs throughout his day.

Father, on my knees, I pray with all of my mind, heart & soul,
Please save these children, bless & protect them
& never let life's hardships take their toll.

God Bless
