Do They Care?

I’m sitting here thinking 

And then start to cry 

I ask myself, “Do they care?” 

“If not, why?” 

  

I spot him three blocks away 

If he didn’t eat yesterday 

I pray he did today 

  

He sees you coming 

You put your head down 

Now he’s afraid 

And walks away with a frown 

  

He thinks, “I’m so hungry, what shall I do? 

Keep walking away, or ask you: 

Hi miss, my name is James 

Can you spare some change? 

I’m sorry for my approach 

It may seem strange 

But I haven’t ate a thing 

I’m blessed with anything the lord brings 

Thank you miss, have a great day'” 

  

I smiled and went on my way
