"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?
