All Alone

All alone she sat on the walkway
As passers by cast furtive glance her way

And briskly look the other way
Bringing no succor her way

She sat there any way
Staring into space with a look so faraway 

Waiting in vain all day
For  a good Samaritan to come her way

Has humanity no more empathy to display?
Love should look around without delay

To see her need and say 
Come into my abode and stay
For you are my sister in every way
