An Angel's Tears

An angel's tears fall down to the earth
as she looks upon the pain and lack of mirth

the homeless child on a street corner stands
as rich folks pass believing that its out of their hands

a mother scourers the alleys and trash
thinking of her hungry child and just one lucky stash

as the tears fell down like rain from a storm
this angels thoughts of god are torn

can she cry enough to cleanse this place
the hate, the crime, the dirt from a baby's face

an angel crys from the heavens above
hoping one day we all find gods love

  1. Yes, I'm sure angels cry. We do.

  2. Oooh. I love the poem, though so sad, and I like the picture you matched up to it.
