Just the slightest gentle touch and she knew
here was somebody who could be trusted
feeling so safe with that knowing glance
did no longer feel alone or afraid
she sat in the street begging for money
when the woman came to her and spoke
in such a kind way offering some support!
Lost her home had got into such a lot of debt
could not afford to be in rental accommodation
soon was living on the cold lonely streets
had few friends to turn to for any hope
to stay under their roofs on a settee
found it frightening to be out there all alone
spiraling downwards not knowing what to do
struggling to buy food as depression grew!
But out of the blue as she sat there desperate
like an angel the figure did appear
from a local church offered her that hope
spoke gently and said she could give shelter
taking her off the unfriendly streets of strife
giving at last a new chance of a better life!
Now in her own flat with a sense of achievement
she really felt it was heaven sent!
