A Prayer for thee Angels in the streets

Hebrews 13:2

King James Version (KJV)
2 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares


who considers 
the inconsiderate,
the starved,
the starving that will feed the hungry,
the hungry who have no food.

darkest places for sleep
a box for Her head
partially covered
the box that hides an Old Lady
in a box with a cross.

who with a spirit of chairty provides 3 chicken sandwiches with
no hesitation,
no hesitation
for
     a sandwich
and
     a prayer

who considers a Mother,
                        a Grand Mother,
                        a Sister,
                        a Daughter
Whose cement pillows grow cold in the night
                       only dirty enough so  She won't be seen.
                       She is real:
                       a Lady,
                       aWoman
                       of Worth,
                       Worth
                       a Prayer,
                       a Hug
Someone To Love
                      some Food.
                                     what is what we must do 
                                     to get this message through
                      a Lady in a box covers Her head
                                                           Her shame
                                                           Her loneliness.  Yet it does not remove
                                                           Her pain,
                                                           Her hurt,
                                                           Her struggle, nor
                                                           Her jungle of concrete beds.
                                                           Her life is real
                                                           Her pain i do feel
                   an  Angel that lays at our feet
                   hungry and cold looking lost and so old
                   a Lady
                   an Angel
                   a Soul
                   a Vision of life passed by.
                   will we
                   Love the Lady in the box with a cross
                   a Human
no matter
     what
no matter
Who
no matter
     where
She came from
right here
right now
is She just an old lady in the streets?  no Home
                                                            no Food
                                                            to  eat
She sleeps alone in dark corners on a myriad of these Fresno Streets.
She is for now, just an old lady in a box with a cross
to ponder...

a Lady's Worth:
              Worth Love,
              Worth hope, Never Ever 
a            Worthless Lady
because
she lives in abox with a cross.
               In Jesus Name      turn her box
                            into many moving boxes
                            into her new home
                                                          boxes of food
                                                          boxes of clothes
                                                          boxes of all the living essentials
                                           A Gifted Box with a pretty design that holds the Word 
                                                                                                                 your Words in a Biblical box
                                                                                                                                                          boxes of Love
                                                                                                                                                          for the once Lady
                                                                                                                              in the streets in a box with a cross
                                                                                                                              in             
                                                                                                                              Jesus Name Amen
