Save Her

(Save her) Alan L Boles picture Save her today And tomorrow...will save you right back! Can you help...she calls? My child lays in the gutter, In need of food and shelter, Can you spare a penny! Life had been cruel, It wasn't her fault, Her husband died, No remaining relatives, Once a proud woman, Now destitute! Please...she cries, Don't walk away, Don't cross the road Or look down at me, I'm human... I bleed...I have feelings, Don't say you will pray Then pass her by, Don't say it's her own fault, She didn't handle her affairs properly, Don't put her in prison As a criminal! One day... Life could turn around, Who knows, What tomorrow...will bring, Today riches and good health, A lovely home, Warmth from the bed, Tomorrow you could be that woman, Could you...humble yourself? Could you...stand in the food-bank? And receive charity, We don't know... Times are getting hard, What will life throw your way? We all need someone sometime. A friendly word A smile, A hug Someone hugged Me today, Showed me love. It broke though...into my heart, Thank you, Because I was that lady On the street Today. Wendy Jae
