Real Change other than quarters
In you lap
Pigeons on the floor
Next to your chair
I want to somehow show I care

If I had learned your name...
Maybe I could give a more specific word
Our souls could dance together
God's big black eye surely sees you
His full strong heart, a love for you

Real Change, is what you want
But do you really?
The light somewhere in there
Follow it to life love
Rumbling sound, its God above

This poem isn't about art
Its about you, my friend
Please tell me your name and I'll pray for you
May wisdom bless your soul and light
Angels around you gathered delight

I'm not worthy to give this literature to you
A servant of God...
But I beg you'll accept it as a blessing
Please don't hold it lightly in your hand
You're God's favorite in the land

-----------------------------
Praise you Jesus!

Praise the eternal reign, the Father; Jesus Christ; and the Holy Spirit.

first off, I wanted to say that I'm glad you liked my poem. Secondly, I wanted to tell you how great I think this poem is. Especially,
"If I had learned your name...
Maybe I could give a more specific word
Our souls could dance together
God's big black eye surely sees you
His full strong heart, a love for you"

Incredible words, I can't wait to read more of your poetry.
thank you

Thank you guys.  I met a homeless man the other day selling the newspapers called "Real Change."  They're made for homeless people by homeless people.  I gave him one of these necklaces I make and walked away.  I stood about 30 feet away and thought and wondered how I could help him.  I usually sell the necklaces for a dollar even though I've given away about 50.  I walked up and told him I usually sell the necklaces for a dollar and asked for a newspaper.  I kept thinking and wrote this poem and now I'm praying God will give him a merry Christmass with this poem.  So thats basically what its about.  God bless and thank you again.
