Lucky You

In your world of sunshine Have you ever seen the rain, From your ivory tower Have you ever felt the pain. As your driving in your cadillac Did you see the rusted car, Or the homeless on the street Not caring who they are. When you dress in your designer clothes, And brush your pearl white teeth, Do you know that there are children Without shoes upon their feet. And when the snow falls to the ground It isn't any joke That a frail, and sickly woman Doesn't own a coat. Could you ever imagine Of living life this way, On paper bags you make your bed In the gutter where you lay. You say it couldn't happen, Especially to you How fortunate my friend, As I once believed it too. Lynn Barany
