The Have Nots

They are standing in the shadows
Trying desperately to hide
Afraid the light of day will show
The pain locked up inside
Feelings they cannot explain
Or even understand
To blind to see the stranger
Who might lend a helping hand
Some seem born to live with less
And barely make it by
Living lives of desperation
From the cradle till they die
While others live in luxury
From the moment of their birth
Thinking all they can amass
Is the true measure of their worth
But some are born with caring souls
That cannot be bought or sold
Knowing all the riches in this world
Are not worth a heart of gold
That kind of wealth increases
Multiplied each time you share
The gift received by giving
Is the reward for those who care
So, step into the shadows
To that soul lost in the night
For you just may be their angel
Sent to share your own soul’s light
And when the day may come
That you are lost and all alone
You’ll be rescued from the darkness
By an angel of your own
