Faces

AS I WALK ON BY, I SEE PEOPLE IN DIFFERENT FORM OF LIVES 
SOME WONDERING ABOUT SURVIVING THE DAY AND THE COLD NIGHT 

THEN MY EYE  GLIMPSE  A OLD TREE THAT HAS FORGOTTEN TO BREEZE
THERE HE SITS BEFRIENDING HIS ONE AND ONLY OLD STICK 

ANOTHER PERSON I SEE, LOOKING FOR A REASON TO BELIEVE 
OR THINKING FOR A REASON TO END THE MISERY 

DOWN THE LANE IN THE RESTAURANT, ORDERING FOOD TO QUENCH THE TASTE
OUTSIDE THE DOOR STANDS A MAN SO POOR WANTING A PIECE OF THE BROKEN BONES

truly faces show so much more of a person than they could ever tell in words and every face is different and beautiful in their own way, to notice the difference in people is a gift and to see the good when others see the bad is even greater,, and for sure there is too much sufferring in the world, and it seems the ones that suffer the least complain the most,,,Blessings..cecil
