Homeless Angel

Covered in dust

From head to toe

No shoes or socks

Nor house or home

Dirt streaked hair

Tear stained face

Alone in the world

Fallen from grace

How did it all start

Where did it begin

Growing without parents

Or even just one friend

Living in a different family

Every other week

Just to be left upon

Another dusty street

Sailing down

From clouds so high

To this earth

Where she cries

Awaiting death

A peaceful surrender

To Heaven or Hell

It won't matter

She sits alone

Under a single streetlight

Numb from the cold

Giving up the fight

Her pale lips part

Moving without sound

As her angel face

Meets with the ground

So on this snowy evening

An angel breathed her last

Seeing pictures in her mind

From present and the past

A mother holding a little baby

Whispering in her ear

I'll see you soon my child

There is no need to fear
