I See You

I see you everyday waiting for a token or a glance Waiting for a willing soul, for someone to give you a chance The pain etched into your face of rejection day by day reflects into my heart And I fear this cruel world with it's "no-care attitude" may tear you apart Your eyes light up when an offering is made, I wonder How long that light stays, before darkness tears its asunder Taking what is given and turning it into yet another endless day To stand come sun, rain, but yet this is your only way Sometimes I pray for you, that you may find some peace for one night You have so much courage to stand there day after day fighting the great fight Of poverty, insecurity, looking to someone for a glimmer of hope It amazes me that you dothis day in and day out and still manage to cope I have no words, because that is not what you need Though what you need is not something I can give I pray that the Lord your soul will keep Until he fetches you home to His safe, gentle arms
