Keirans Journey

I am a young man,my name is Keiran
life somehow gave me, a rough deal 
I did`nt choose to be homeless, or to
wonder,when id have,my next meal

Circumstances out of my control,
lead me to live a life, of poverty
I had nothing! no roof over my head,
but one thing I had,was my dignity..

I did`nt beg or have addictions,
or go down, the root of crime
I just thought I will survive this,
and then it will, be my time.

I did`nt tell people my situation,
I did nt want pity you see
I had to believe that someday,
life would improve for me

 
And it did! I talked to a friend,
from there I met a lady,with a heart of gold
She took me into her home, she fed me,
she gave me warmth, from the cold

Through her, the community got involved,
helping me in anyway they could
I now have clothes, I have food,
through human kindness,my future looks good
 
I am just a humble poet,
who is inspired to write about  Keirans  Journey
The empathy and compassion shown to him
I think, is a tribute to humanity!!

I wish you well young man!
you deserve this! it is your time,to shine
"From humble beginnings come great things"
I`ve no doubt ..You will be fine
