Everytime I look in her eyes,
I see the pain and suffering she,endured
in this life, and
it's been just two years.

Homeless and on the verge of tears.
Now just how could it be
that we suffer for free
and you ease the pain in our hearts.

Because it was you
Who suffered the cross,
you took it with dignity.
You took away pain,
with your suffering

Stinky feet, shoes don't fit,
mud caked on, the front her shirt.
hair unclean, new isn't,
often easily seen.
Tattered, or broken, or buttons missing.

Homeless and on the verge of tears,
Now just how could it be
that we suffer for free
and you ease the pain in our hearts.

Because it was you
Who suffered the cross,
you took it with dignity.
You took away pain,
with your suffering

Now she will wait, by your side,
until you can,
ease her pain.
held down, knees on the cold, wet cement.
Hidden somewhere on 99.
Praying her nightly prayers.



                   Love,

The nice thing about being a pesimest is that your either right, or pleasantly surprised.
