Lend Me Your Ear

I met a ten year old boy

the other day on the street

he asked, "Mr. why don't

nobody love me?"

stunned by what he asked

I replied, "What do you mean?"

he said, "I don't know my daddy

and my moms is a fiend.

I feel alone, by myself

and my mom's boyfriends

beat me with they belts."

very concerned, I told him to

come with me & we would find help

he said, "its useless I've

already tried

all those people ever do is lie."

I said to him, "I'm sorry I don't

know what to do then."

he simply replied, "thats all right

Mr. I just wanted you to listen."

Sometimes the best gift you can give someone is to just listen. People pay dearly for it.That is why 'shrinks' pockets are so fat. Unfortunately children don't always have someone who will listen to how they feel. I like it.:)
