Sitting Here This Morning

Sitting here this morning 

Sitting here this morning, 
In the conservatory 
Here I am all wrapped up 
Not feeling the cold ,

I have my heating on, 
And am grateful for what I have 
But the sad thing is 
Not every ones like me 

The out side world is so cold
There's snow upon the ground
The wind in blowing a gale 
How lucky I'm inside

Sitting here I wonder while all comfy and warm 
What would life be like If I was not so lucky 
I look into the garden 
There's snow upon the ground
I know that there are lots 
Sleeping in the cold

Underneath a bridge some where
In a door way if there lucky 
With out heating food or care 
How are they to survive 
With snow upon the ground 
No food or hot tea , 
I bet they wish They got a blanket
In the cold and the wind

I only wish this country 
Would sort them selves out 
And help these poor people 
And give them warmth and food 
There most likely waiting 
These people with out a roof
For a food bank to open 
And a little warmth 

I hope and pray that some day
That thing will change a lot 
And every one will be like me 
And have a roof and warmth
Have food inside there bellies 
It's not a lot to ask
Before they die from the cold 
And become just a number 

No matter how we try to help 
these poor people still go hungry 
The main Ones that can do good 
Is this government,
To build more houses for the ones 
That have no roof or food, 
So no one will have to sleep 
Underneath a bridge, 

So when you have a little while 
Just say a small pray 
One for being greatfull and the other for the poor

Nice expression of universal reality ... painful patches of inexorable darkness ... very well written ...
