I have been one of them

I pray
for the sick, the ill.
the handicapped,
the lost and lonely souls
who
toss and turn
in their cold beds at night,
wishing upon
stars, hands clasped together
in prayer for
salvation to come along,
for i have been one of
them.

I pray for the homeless,
the deaf
and blind,
the broken hearted
and mentally
ill, the hungry,
the betrayed, the poor,
for I have been one of them.

I pray that some light will
be put upon the weak,
the lost,
the disturbed,
and unloved,
that with a miracle
somehow there will be
a light, a moment
of shine,
an answer to where they
are. I pray for them,
for anyone left behind,
for I
have been one of them.
