Nothing quite so amazing
As smiles from a homeless child
Reaching out to touch the world
With hope

Nothing quite so impressive
As the need in her father
Begging for the chance to give
Her joy

Nothing quite so eloquent
As the tears from her mother
Washing stains of night's foul which
Feeds her;

No, Nothing quite so awesome
As any of that, from me
Just cold words on a page that
Shows you

Choppy words from chopped up heart
Choking back tears of remorse
That I used the mother for
The message:

Inadequate verses for
indescribable renting
of a heart and soul who should
*Love them!
