Mark Koplin Poet Rhyme

Just a Prayer

I need someone to pray for me, I’ve fallen and can’t get up.
I have no place to lay my head, there’s nothing left here in my cup.
I’m trapped within a void; my hopes and dreams are gone.
I have no love around my heart and little strength to carry on.

I’m lonely and forgotten, there is no search for me.
I’ve long since been abandoned, there are no eyes to look and see.
I’m homeless and I’m hungry, I’m cold and all alone.
I have nowhere to go, not even a stepping stone.

You’ll find me on the street, newspapers for a bed.
A cardboard box is all I have, pretty soon I will be dead.
The temperature is dropping, a prayer is all I need.
Can you find it in your heart and perform this little deed?

I’ve been separated from my flock, I need something to call my own,
maybe a final meal, before the good Lord takes me home.
Thanksgiving is upon us a message I hope you spare.
Please find it in your heart and help me with just a prayer.

We all need to be thankful for what we have and what we can give. Have a blessed holiday season............ Mark Koplin November 26, 2020 at 3:30 PM Happy Holidays Paula!! Always a pleasure my friend. Thank you very much.

Tom Cunningham November 25, 2020 at 7:35 AM Its hard to believe that in this day and age there are many in that situation through no fault of their own find themselves on the streets. Well written Mark. Tom Mark Koplin November 25, 2020 at 9:03 AM Thanks Tom! It’s very unfortunate
