Not being alone ...but lonely
Everything around us is beautiful
Even though ...it’s all tattered, worn and homely
People with nothing to come between them ...stay close
To one another form bonds ...like a big family
Thankful... as if that’s the way
To more clearly see life’s many blessings
Free from the distraction
Which obscures
The way
Life’s minor miracles
...naturally trickle into our lives
So that we can greater
Appreciate ...the flow, disguised
As life’s most touching moments
Offered ...in utter simplicity
Arrive ...to provide help
In our daily struggle to survive
When we have distanced ourselves
From the natural cycles
Of finding the basic necessities
We have seemingly forgotten
How close we all are
No matter how successful
We might seem
To living …on the street
How true …is
Our humanity
Take away our toys
Then measure …our voice
You will plainly see
