The Beggar
The Beggar
Willy they called him
William was his name
Everyone thought
It was Mexico from where he came
HE roamed on the streets
On the streets of London
Walked with dignity
A Smile on his face
HE never asked for money
Yet he was poor
For he had no family
Except a group of four
He was rich, once
A day when he laughed
A day when he cared
He day when he stared
HE was not aware
Of whet he hade become
He just moved on
As life was what he had become
It was a usual pint
He had enough mint
Never did he go more
Neither bit less
He often walked around the church
Just couldn’t pass through the doors
There was enough taken
Couldn’t dare to give more
He just asked
Always asked for one thing
Walked across with the group of four
Thought he ever had a family
