Lady Of The Sidewalks

Lady Of The Sidewalks 

By Paul McCann

Lady of the sidewalks

help those lonely people 

who try to hide 

be like the shadow

standing at their side , 

when the  dark clouds 

gather then they will know 

the comforting grace 

there in your shadow .

Lady of the sidewalks

you are always there 

in the bright sunlight   ,

with the blue mantle 

of the sky in sight ,

somewhere beyond this 

world there you depart 

to the  sidewalks of the soul 

in our heart .

Lady of the sidewalks

you see the homeless 

with no food to eat ,

bring hope to them 

on the sidewalks of the street  .

Lady of the sidewalks

it’s cold and dark 

when no one seems to care ,

but you are the  answer 

to every prayer .
