[hometext] => I thought I'd try something a little different this time.
[bodytext] => There on the street corner he stands Gaunt, tattered and filthy too Begging for more money with each passer by His dilapidated stocking cap atop his matted hair A scruffy beard upon his face As I approached his out-stretched hand held a tin cup His hazel gray eyes searching I was feeling some disgust and smug piety So I just walked on by He must have noticed the condescending look in my eye An inner voice spoke, Thank God for those who are in need Why in the world would you say we should be grateful for them? Well, if everyone were perfect, who would need you or me? Yes, that's right, everyone could take care of themself Oh how sad this world would be, if no one needed to be cared for by society Yes, we would all be independent and free Where is the opportunity to help and to serve? The chance to accept a helping hand? Less able to show our love and caring! Right now God is there with love and protection, As only He is perfection Is being imperfect so bad When we realize what perfection demands? At least I know I can make mistakes!

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
