Beggar reads the Jesus Prayer

Beggar reads the Jesus Prayer

Please I need your help 
I am lost in the streets 
It is dark and cold 
Hunger is my name 

Please I need your help 
My clothes are torn 
And my heart is weary 
Nothing seems the same 

I, who wander down the street 
The beggar rocking on the corner
As you pass by me 
Looking at my emaciated frame 

Please I need your help 
I am alone in the city 
Calling out to Jesus
Calling out to Jesus 
 

 

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, the sinner

WOW!!.........this is an amazing prayer........as well as insightful and giving poetry...........I know this scenario SO WELL!!.........been living and working in Major Cities most of my life..........and it is astonishing how quickly you become acclimated to just "not seeing" the beggar on the corner..........and I like to think of myself as a God-fearing person..........but after reaching for money........their is ballet that follows the giving..........making you late for work etc.........so you learn to turn a blind eye.........a selfish, self-serving, blind eye...........now that I am dealing with personal issues that have removed me from the "everyday" rat-race..........I have re-thought my entire approach to living, career, etc............this could go on forever........see what you've done with this write (lol!)............Loved it !!..............T xo
