She walked down the alleyway
Her hair was all Grey
Her warm brown eyes twinkling like a star
Her eyesight was blur
But she saw what most couldn’t
She heard how the growling stomach of the homeless man stopped when he eat a square meal
She heard the bird’s thirst quench as it drank fresh water from the pot
But who was there to give her a warm meal when she was starving?
Who was there to satisfy her thirst when her throat was all dry
“When I grow up and get a job, I’ll treat you like a queen” he said
I’ll be waiting for you son she whispered weakly to herself
As she closed her eyes which used to shine
The man sat there waiting for food as the bird flew away searching for water
