The Big Issue

Cardboard lay’s upon the floor In front of the shop it blocks the door A tell tale sign of a poor night’s sleep Warm and dry they try to keep. Safe inside - we lock the door Without a thought for the really poor? When night does fall, the risks are great A real cold night could seal their fate. A wash and shave and comb the hair What could we do to show we care? But remember this, they feel the cold And it gets worse as they grow old. So think about what other ways You could ensure your good deed pays. Soup, blankets and toilet tissue Or stop and chat when they shout “Big Issue”?! (For people not in the u.k The Big issue is a magazine the homeless sell to raise cash)
