Cold Day



A homeless man or woman
another child of God
you'll turn your back and walk away
because you find them odd

no fireplace or a warm dry bed
no family to call their own
in the cold is where they sleep
that's where they call home

exposed to nature's elements
on a frozen bench they lie
while you sleep in your warm house
fully fed, secure and dry.

that could've been you instead
you're but one bad break away
then everyone can also treat you
exactly the same way

buy them a warm and hardy meal,
and stop being critical
give them shoes with holes
you can be the Miracle

"Cast aside a brother
so too, shall I cast you away"
---Jesus
