"Moments in Life"

Sarah
St. Justin Martyr Catholic School
Saint Louis County, MO


As I walk along this path
I see all the people who hath
decided to be along their way
but only one has chosen to stay. 

He is a beggar on the street
with tan, brown skin and shoeless feet.
And I don’t know whether to stay or go
but this homeless man has told me so
“It does no good to dwell on being or not,
and to let go of the life you have forgot.”
