Cold Lonely Night's

Cold lonely people out on the street 

Hands are cold with blisters on their feet

Sleeping in places where rats dont bite

Trying to survive in the dead of the night

Cold and lonely out on the street

Pains of hunger needing something to eat

When did you last have a cooked meal?

Sitting  with loved ones 

Eating veggies and veal

When did you last have a hug?

Lay in a bed feeling warm and snug,

Every night alone on the street 

Cold and alone and needing some heat

Have a thought for our homeless friends

Who want a chance to make amends

Do they ask to live this way?

Some dont have a choice

Some dont have a say

Would you want your child living this way ?

No !!
