"Can somebody
please help me?"

"I am cold,
I am hungry,
I have no home,
no shoes,
no clothes,
to keep me warm."

"I have no
pillow to put
under my head at night,
I have no parents to
love me,
I am a
heart broken
lonely child."

"Can you please
take me in
for just one night?
I promise
I'll be good."

These are the
cries of
a broken heart.

A cold,
hungry child,
just looking for somebody
to help.

Are you that
somebody that is
willing to reach out
and give this
helpless child
anything,
except a broken heart?

I put myself into a little homeless child's shoes.
