I see the beauty here

The water so blue

The buildings stretching

Out for miles

And I see

Something else too

Away from the towering

Buildings

You see

Homeless

Stepped over

Sprawled

Out in

The middle

Of the street

Like a discarded

People.

There stories

I do not know

But sorrow

Is etched on their faces!

I see the sorrow

And I realize

How blessed I am.
