Sometimes I See
August 20, 2010
Sometimes I see poverty
In the wealthiest of homes
Sometimes I see loneliness
In people who've never been alone
Sometimes I see sorrow
in the most joyous of men
Sometimes I see a teenage mother
In a girl who four years ago was ten
Sometimes I see homelessness
In the family with the largest house
Sometimes i see a divorcee
In someone who for ten years has been a spouse
Say what you will of me
Gossip how you may
But my view of the world is impaired
By my fear that this will be
what everyone sees someday
