It all started when my marriage crumbled into ashes
My life went crashing
I had no idea what was about to transpire
Distress got me fired
Life turning upside down
So called friends are nowhere to be found
Had to make the hardest decison
Sending my children to daddy was more than I could envision
Endured unimaginable affliction
Starting all from the first eviction
Living place to place was not where they needed to be
Sleeping and eating daily was not a guarantee
No one showed me compassion
Generosity only came in rations
Times got desperate
Keeping mind and body seperate
As I did things I never thought I could do
Putting myself in situations I wish no one had to Ever go through
I learned no one truly cares
Except the Man above, who I send my tearful prayers
Had to learn how to humble myself and set my pride aside
Having faith that He will always provide
All along He heard my silent plea
After I learned my lessons He started blessing me
Sending me in the direction I needed to succeed
Gaining the strength to proceed
He carried me through the horrors of the streets
My fears I have no choice but to defeat

I hope that your intervention at this time will make a big difference in his life. Thanks for doing your part to aid the human community.

Best of wishes to you and the kid, and hoping that your compassion inspires him and gives him just the push and drive that he needs.
A good and decent human being, I say. There are times where I too believe that no one truly cares. And I came to that revelation long before I heard Sonny speak those same words in the movie A Bronx Tale.
Oops. I meant to add that your prose is exceptional.
Beautiful poem.
I personally wouldn't take in a stranger. It takes exceptional people like you to take a chance on someone. I am too cynical.
I really hope that the kid turns his life around.
I hope he doesn't pose a risk to your daughters.
blessings for you.
what a kind act.
