Will You Help Me
January 17, 2008
Justene Martin

"Will you help me?" Cries the starving heart.
"I’m hungry and I have no place to go!"
"I live inside this prison cell, forsaken
By the selfish, who may never, ever know.

That as I beg along these streets, I’m bleeding,
Hungering to know the Father’s touch.
They may never hear my silent pleading,
But they, themselves are starving for so much.

I’m only asking for someone to love me,
Or give to me one meager little crumb.
The hate I see in people all around me,
Has left me feeling broken and so numb.

And you kind sir or madam will you turn
And hide your eyes from witnessing my plight?
Or will you face your own broken spirit?
It only takes a meager Widow’s Mite.
