Poetry
Lord I close my eyes as I try to sleep
Only seeing the faces of those in need
Searching and glaring for a way to be free
Hoping that one would pass by and agree
The tears in their eyes showing complete sadness
Makes me shiver and quake as I lie in the darkness
Oh Lord, how they look so cold and hopeless
Their smiles, laughter, giggles are priceless
How cold the rich ones with plenty to eat
Not thinking of the poor lost dirty and dead beat
Not a blanket around to warm up their feet
Wrapping the children near bodies to share heat
Ones who are out there in this crazy little world
Are looking for a shelter a nice cozy home
But some may be drinking and smoking away
Creating their lungs to be one ugly ashtray
Take care of the needy as they struggle to survive
But don’t give too much till they reach out and strive
Use my mouth to teach them which way to stay alive
Fulfill the commandments that equal two times five
Touch their hearts, their minds, show them what’s real
Little ones and adults will stay faithful no matter what they feel
Use my hands and feet to fulfill your will
I run out of energy, gaining strength You will refill

The only other comment would be to capitalize "You" in the last stanza. It clarifies your prayer to the Lord.
Absolutely beautiful.
