Wordless Prayer

Wordless Prayer: On a lonely corner of a busy street, Woman dressed in rags stares at her feet. Hands clasped together for simple pleas, Begging for help to heal the hurt she feels. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Empty arms where once a baby she held, Heartfelt reminders still burning inside. Touching his face and kissing his feet, Holding him close to comfort his needs. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The nights were long the dark unkind, No friendly hand to support and guide. The streets were busy and people cruel, For this lonely soul and their battle to rule. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Wide empty eyes stare into the night, A wordless prayer for help to heal the aching inside Food was gone and no money to borrow, Hopeless mind drowning in sorrow. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Holding her treasure with pride in her heart, Stars in the heavens shone bright with their light. When the baby`s cries died in the night, The stars disappeared far from her sight. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Her angel is gone, her heart in defeat Only her memories leading her feet The days were hard her prayers brief, Desolate thoughts trapped in her grief. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Wrinkles on her face, caused by the years Two empty hands drying her tears. A lonely soul filled with sorrow. Broken heart, praying for no tomorrow.
