EMOTIVES COLLECTION

I walked past you on the street

I looked down

You looked so beat

Sitting on the cold concrete

Wrapped in a blanket

With your dog at your side

He looks at you with

Nothing but pride

You look hungry, you look tired

Content where you are

You made me inspired

An empty tin, with no money

I hear grumbling

It’s from your tummy

What can I do to make you smile?

Even if it’s only

For a little while

Please feed my dog

As I can wait

His important to me

He is my mate

I will back in a minute

Please don’t leave

All I ask is for you to believe

Here I come with food for both

It’s not much

But it will keep you afloat

I will check on you in time to come

I hope you get, that lucky break

From someone.
