Maybe One Day
by Kimberly Gorman

Every day I see these people
With faces full of despair
They look as if all hope is gone
But I can see through their pain
When I look beyond the misery
Through their eyes and into their souls
I can see a glimmer of hope
A dream still remains
There is always a chance
It will come true
Maybe One Day

Every morning I see a man
Who sleeps on the cold sidewalk
He is so alone with nowhere to go
But I can see how warm he stays
When I look beyond his appearance
Through his pain and tears
I can see his heart's desire
A place to call home
There has to be a way
It can happen
Maybe One Day

Every afternoon I see the kids
With no place to go after school
They carefully try to blend in
But I can see past the disguise
When I look beyond their efforts to hide
Through their faces of sorrow and despair
I can see what they seek
A safe and stable life
They just need a little help
It will take some time
Maybe One Day

Every night I think of these people
Who have no place to call home
They must feel like giving up
But i can see their courage and strength
When I look beyond their clouded lives
Through the sadness and into their hearts
I can still see a clear sky
A star of hope
It will light the way
Maybe One Day
