Angels of Destiny

Angels of destiny, sunk in empty eyes so clear, Angels of destiny, every day your fate so near. Seldom has your little face been graced with a smile Nothing strikes you funny as you search the garbage pile. These angels are babies, little babes without a bed. Every day their hands held out for just one piece of bread. Dreams of hoping something, anything would be more fare Praying maybe someone, anyone might care. Poor poor angels I would love to give much more, But I'm too busy keeping up with the guy next door. I wish he hadn’t bought that new boat down at the bay, Now I'll have to save to buy a bigger one some day Angels of destiny sentenced to a life of fears, Angels of destiny, I will just leave you my tears.

Brenda Words of true heartbreak and sorrow. Powerful write about society and how children have to pay the price for other peoples decisions. Thank you for the sweet comment on my Burning Pain poem.

Isn't it tragic Brenda the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. These children don't have a chance - we live in such a throw away society yet they have nothing. I just have to see their sad eyes and it moves me to tears. A beautifully penned poem Brenda I hope it does well for you:-) Hugs Jan xxx

I am ashamed when I see them because I know how wasteful I can be. I do try to help were I can though and get involved with food drives where I live etch. We can only hope we make a difference somehow, somewhere.
