Wishes washed in tears

By Stephanie Sideways

The wishes that are washed in tears
Are for a pitied child
Who knows no love and warmth of heart
I wish this reconciled

The wishes bathed in helpless brine
Do ask the reaper why
They come for child with future bright?
I wish they did not die

The wishes leaving salted trails
Are laid with grief profound
My empathy, in sorrow shared
I wish for comfort found!

When a beggar asks you for your change he gets what he can get. When a thief asks your for your change he takes all he can get. And when God asks you if you have any change and you say no then God says you should have given me all you had when I was the beggar and before I was the thief and took away all you had.
