Ken Jordan Poet Light Verse

The One's

Poet: Ken Jordan
Poem: The One's
Edited by: Sparkle Jordan
written: June/2014

I pray
for 
the lonely -

I pray
 for 

the
down trodden,
and
broken hearted -

The one's
who say that:

"I almost
made it."

The one's
who 
battle's
through
the storm -

I pray
for
those

who seek
shelter
out the
rain....

who are 
nomad's,

and
have no
home -

I am
the one

who prays
for all
of
those

that
society
close 

there eyes
too,

and
fight
desperately

to 
avoid -

I will 
always 
offer my
hand,

to the 
less 
fortunate

in 
the struggle -

who
gave  life,

all 
they had
to
 survive.....

You are 
the one's

that I pray
for.....

the one's
 who 
are low.....

who have
to scrap 
for
every dime -

They say
that you 
may not
make
it,

in 
a world
obsessed 

with money 
and 
crime -

You
labour 
everyday,

long
and hard,

hoping for
a brighter
day
to come......

and
a brand
new start -

I say
keep your
head up -

keep one
foot
in front
of
the other,

and
keep faith,

close to
your heart -

and 
one day
soon,

you'll rise 
triumphantly

 above
it all -

I pray
for you -
