They remain faceless
Lost, in an unforgiving world

Humanity, is tasteless
On the streets, their lives, unfurled

Sneers from others, laughter
People can be so cruel

Life is a living disaster
Why isn’t this unusual?

Homeless, they fight the sun
Before night and cold alight

Hoping to find anyone
Praying for those who might

Show compassion, lend a hand
Find them shelter from the cold

For they are, just as we are, human
Hoping, they too, can grow old

Nothing equals life

Like given the chance to breathe

In nature’s gardens

The path I took has led me here
Though I know not why I came

An entry tempts my curiosity
To pass it by, would be a shame

A few steps closer, and I’ll be there
Though I know not if I should

Enter the darkness awaiting me
Perhaps I’ve misunderstood

What brought me to this place
And why I’m afraid to go in

For what lies ahead is destiny
To pass it by, would be a sin

Please don’t let go, mommy!

I can still hear him cry

Seems like only yesterday

But how the years go by

Once counted on for everything

He’s got his own life now

But should he ever need me

I’ll get to him, somehow

For no matter the distance

Nothing can keep us apart

For that little boy, all those years ago

Is the one who stole my heart
