A quarter or two

A song I wrote about change. No pun intended

A quarter or two lyrics

Elizabeth walks off the bus again. 
She waves at a man who doesn't have a plan. 
He says ma am could you spare a quarter or two?
I've got no money And don't know what to do. 
And slowly he raises a cardboard message. 
She begins to read. 

Chorus: 
My feet are cold from the holes in my shoes. 
This is my life something I had to chose. 
I'm not trying to scam just looking for my next meal. 
Could you please help me? With just a quarter or two. 

She hands him the change he says god bless you. 
She doesn't understand what he goes through. 
Everyday in her comfortable home, she sits alone. 
And thinks of the sign. 

My feet are cold from the holes in my shoes. 
This is my life something I had to chose. 
I'm not trying to scam just looking for my next meal. 
Could you please help me? With just a quarter or two. 

Elizabeth walks down the street that evening. 
The sunshine is gone and the rain is pouring. 
She walks by a child laying in the dark. 
Laying under a Bench in the park. 
She lays her coat over the cold body. 
Says are you okay? Do you need some money. 
The child stays quiet and just raises a sign. 
Well she starts to cry. 

My feet are cold from the holes in my shoes. 
This is my life something I had to chose. 
I'm not trying to scam just looking for my next meal. 
Could you please help me? 
Could you please help me. With just a quarter or two.

This is absolutely amazing! I just love it. I wish I could hear it to music. I think you mean "choose" though in your chorus, not "chose", right? Just a brilliant write!

I think I love you for writing such a lovely powerful poem/lyric.

This poem is well written - straight not dramatic. Telling facts is always the most powerful method.

Sorry about the love part...lol

Very good writing.
