You turn on the TV, snuggle up with your cat,
When a little girl comes on, wearing a baseball cap.
Saying, “I have cancer, and we need your help.”
Don’t assume they’re talking to someone else.
‘Cause in another year, you may come to find,
Everyone assumed, and that little girl died.

Don’t turn your head and look the other way,
‘Cause the truth is that you’ll find someday,
That the people who needed all those little things,
Are really just angels hiding their wings.

A neighbor of yours goes to teach her classes,
And you notice she’s wearing big, dark sunglasses.
Everyone hears her cries late at night,
But they all go to bed and turn out the light.
It’s so much more than a black eye, a bruise,
Is anyone going to stop the abuse?

Don’t turn your head and look away,
‘Cause the truth is that you’ll find someday,
That the people who needed all those little things,
Are really just angels hiding their wings.

Giving ten dollars to that little girl,
Asking the neighbor if all’s right in her world,
It’s little things that changes fates,
That let us earn our place at Heaven’s gates.

So don’t turn your head and look away,
Because the truth is that you’ll find someday,
That the people who needed all those little things,
Are really just angels hiding their wings.

I've stopped fighting my inner demons... we're on the same side now.

Wow... Umm, it's a good poem, I mean really good, but it kind of reminds me of Tommy Shane Steiner's song - "What If She's An Angel", maybe that's just me.

Thanks for sharing, it was an enjoyable piece

I really like this. Thats a neat idea about these people being angles hiding their wings. We should all not just look away, we should care.

Really really liked this! But I saw this one line 'It’s little things that changes fates,' I think it's just meant to be fate....I don't know though! Hehe

Nice work keep it up.

Very good. The message is loud and clear. Ditto to what Beckah said though. No offence to you or your beliefs, or your poem.
