Lonely in a Crowd~ By Joan Egwuda

Buzzing, bustling
People, pushing
Everyone, on a journey
Focused, unwavering
Not seeing, not looking
At the lost soul standing in the middle of it all,
Lonely in a crowd.

No one wants to ask,
No one wants to know,
Why this poor soul is lost...
...Lonely in a crowd
IF EVERYONE COULD BE
If everyone could be...
A shoulder to cry on
A friend to the lonely
A pair of legs to the lame
A pair of eyes to the blind
A tale of hope to the hopeless
A charity to some orphans
A haven to the lost
A harbour to some ships
A source of strength to the weak
A reminder of the forgotten ones
A good to the bad
A comfort to the sad
A teacher to the illiterate
A parent to a child
If every one could
See the good in people,
Be optimistic
Be strong to face the past
Be brave to face the future
Be courageous to accept change
Be unafraid of risks
Be adventurous like the wind
Be stable like the mountain
Be loyal like the dog
Be hard working like the ants
Be humble like the sheep
Be bold like the lion
If everyone could
Believe in God
Have faith
Have hope
If everyone could see the rainbow at the end of the storm
If everyone could love and be loved...
If only everyone could
