Linette Venter Poet Ballad

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
