BEGGARS
Their stories are varied, but all the same Families to feed, lives to reclaim Invisible to many, ignored by most Yet they continue to hope and to post
On the street corners, they stand
Humble and hopeful, with outstretched hands
Their eyes meet ours, full of need
Asking for help, as they silently plead
Their stories are varied, but all the same
Families to feed, lives to reclaim
Invisible to many, ignored by most
Yet they continue to hope and to post
A dollar, a coin, a bit of spare change
Can mean the difference between joy and pain
A small gesture, but it can do so much
For someone who needs it, it's a loving touch
So let us not judge or turn away
From those who struggle day by day
A kind word, a gift of money or food
Can change someone's life and shift their mood
Street beggars may be seen as a bother
But they're human beings, just like any other
With dreams and hopes, and a need to survive
So let us show kindness and keep hope alive.
