I used to pray " let mother be alive" father told us She was dead
sisters whispers that's not true He took us away So now I knew
Years of searching to find her and care many empty faces it's awful out there
The streets of LA a bitter cold place survival changes God's good Grace
My prayer has been answered she was alive dying each passing day
God gave her to me then he took her away
No more do I pray
My Mother was a bag lady on the streets of Los Angeles. I could not find her until I was 18 years old grandmother was sick and hired an investigator But lived out of state I searched for weeks in down town Lost Angeles soup kitchens ally's looking for my mother when I found her she had throat cancer and didn't even live for three months I wrote a lot during that time
