Poem
I saw a bird fall from the sky, I watched a grown man as sit on the corner with his only possessions left in his life as he cried…I meet a girl who had never seen a sun rise, because she was blind. I watched as a mother as she held her only son as he died, he had been the victim of a drive by. I meet a man who had lost both his legs because he had been hit by a drunk driver as he cross the street...every time he would think of it, he would grind his teeth. I meet a man who was once a Priest who had he lost his faith in God because of a thief…With all these things that I have seen, you would think or wonder how I could still believe that there is a God that cares? I stopped I paused as I started to think. The bird that fell from the sky, had baby birds that had just left the nest and that man on the corner was still alive and he could walk, the blind girl smelled things I could not see, the mother who lost her son, was now an advocate to stop violence on the street, the man who lost his legs could still think, the Priest was not dead and his faith was not suppose to be in man, but only in God… and we all seem to have forgot, God had not failed them but he was building them up, for each one them that had something taken from them, but they still had their life…all, but the bird…except for her baby birds that had just left the nest. God had not forgotten those people but it seems that they had forgotten him.
