New York's Angel
Lost and afraid,
With no place to go.
Sits on the sidewalk, the only place she could know.
Thirsty and famished.
But won't beg for money.
Grateful for what's given,
And just happy it’s sunny.
Her hat was filthy,
from the inside out; worn
All ragged and dirty,
her clothing was torn.
Smiling on the outside.
Broken on the in.
Hiding a past of one that
has sinned.
But behind this past sits
a beautiful girl.
One who couldn't hurt a soul
for the world.
Alone and innocent;
hesitant to speak
She hides in her posture,
To shield that she's weak.
With no family
far or near,
She holds tightly to her
what is dear.
Though not much,
she remains content.
She is not broken,
But only bent.
Still loving the life
with everything that she has.
Through all her hard times,
The good, and the bad.
And though without siblings,
Mother, or dad.
This beautiful girl,
can find nothing to add.
